The short club, which is 1C in the bridge bidding convention means with opening-level points (13+) but no five-card major suit.
I’ve 13 hcp: 3 4 3 3. So I opened 1C. My partner asked me if I play short club. I said no. But with this hand, it’s. So afterward, they suggested that I should pass, which I think it’s misleading and not correct.
So I checked online. AI says: To open bid a minor suit, you need at least three cards in the suit and 13 or more high-card points (HCP).
If you have two 3-card minor suits, you should always open with 1♣. If you have two 4-card minor suits, open 1♦. If you have 3 cards in both minor suits and a 4-card major suit, opening 1♣ is recommended.
Should I open 1N or 1C?
I bid in club, thinking my 3 diamonds are weak for a NT bid. My P bid 1♦. I rebid 2C but the hand is played at 3♣ by my partner.
This hand, my P bid

Should I bid 2S?
