The wake-up at 1 NT
It requires 10-12HCP and does not guarantee a stopper in the opening suit.
Of course, a stopper is preferable, but a wake up at 1 NT may often be the only one possible with 12HCP and if a double is impossible (for example with a doubleton in a major).
With a stronger balanced hand (14-16HCP) cstart by doubling and you'll bid NT in the next round, without a jump
