Help
In Acol Bridge if North opens 1 Club and East passes, can South, with only 1 Club, bid 1 Heart having 5 Hearts and just 2 HCPs, to avoid getting left in Clubs?

Not in Acol, but playing a short club and transfers you can do.
I doubt that anyone is teaching new players transfers over 1♣!

Hi,
You always can bid.
The risk is, that your 1H response gets partner exited.
The thing is, you know that you want p to pass 1H, but your
p does not know, that you want him to pass.
If you have 4 diamonds, 5 hearts, 3 spades, you could try to
bid 1D intending to pass any response.
The main problem with 1H is, that you may miss a diamond fit.
Keep in mind, that I dont like to recommending starting with
your shorter suit, but if you are really serious about starting
a rescue mission, bid 1D, even holding 5 hearts.
In general I would say: stick to the rule, pass with less than 6HCP,
you can weaken this further down the road.
With kind regards
Marlowe
