3♥ is a cuebid in the given auction
If the bidding is instead 1♦-1♠-X-2♠-3♥ then no, it is not a reverse

It's a cue bid of West's suit ... do you have the bidding right ?

It sure is, and opposite partenr's possible 5/6 hcp it is forcing to game.
In the given auction 3H makes no sense, without an agreement which I don't play.

Double showed 4 hearts, so 3♥ is just a raise, showing a little extra, but I have never heard of it played as forcing. Partner didn't double with 5hcp btw unless he has 5 hearts or more.

Presuming the auction we all think you meant, of course it's not a reverse. This is by the same logic that 1♦ (1♠) X (P) 2♥ is not a reverse.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I assume west overcalled 1♠, not 1♥, north made a negative double showing 4+♥'s and east raised to 2♠. If that's correct, I totally agree with Josh: 3♥ is no reverse. It just shows 4-card support and denies an absolute minimum.
Kind regards,

ok, thanks everyone, was a raise and not a reverse or cue bid. I guess the bidding looked weird, I'll try it this way
