  1. 1. Is 2H-3C-5H alertable if...

    • It's weak, suggesting opener may sacrifice in 6H over 6C
      0
    • It's "to play" with a wide range and opener should always pass
      1
    • It's a slam try asking for a club control and creates a forcing auction
      1
    • None of the above are alertable

I've recently been involved in an email discussion about the sequence 2♥-(3♣)-5♥ and other similar auctions. There seem to be three approaches to the 5♥ bid:

 

(1) It's an advance sacrifice on a weak hand. It invites opener to bid 6♥ over 6♣ if his hand is suitable.

(2) It's just "to play" and could be a wide range of hand types. Opener is always expected to pass regardless of whether opponents compete further.

(3) It's a slam try asking for something specific (usually a club control); if the opponents bid over 5♥ then a forcing pass would be on.

 

Would any of these approaches be alertable under ACBL rules?
