Matchpoints
1♥ can be four
4♥ is distribution - not a lot of HP (2NT would have gameforce with support)
What to bid and why?

bid 2♠, and when they don't accept it, pass.

Yes. I believe that is called the Alcatraz Coup, or a form of it.

The most popular form allows you to stop in 5NT after Blackwood -- bid 4NT again and correct it to 5NT.

pass is a reasonable option since this hand is suitable to defense.

FYP - you have to find the right level of player for these types of coup!

Pass -- not enough distribution to bid on, not enough defense to double.
