In my experience, most defenders against a 'may be short' club treat
it as a normal 1C opener, since opener has 3 clubs over 90% of the
time.
Also importantly, opener will have 4 clubs a significant percentage of
the time. I don't remember what this percentage is, but I think it's
60% or more...does someone else know the real percentage? For me,
that's the main reason not to play 2C as natural.
Things change when you open 1C on any minimum balanced hand, even on
hands with 4 or 5 diamonds; now I think the chance that opener has 2
clubs, or 3 poor ones, is significantly higher, which is why I
generally ask my partner to switch to 2C natural when we run into a
Polish club pair. I still don't know the exact percentage, though,
and I really have no idea whether playing this way is best.
