If you had to guess what do you think a 3♣ opener in 4th seat looks like?

Gambling offer.

something that looks like a 1C opener planning a 2.5 club rebid, no 4 card major.
Perhaps Ax xx KJx AQJxxx. But I have never discussed it with anybody, just a guess.
My dad opened 3C in fourth seat playing with me when I was just begninning. One would hope that basic logic skills would have lead me to figure out it was not a preempt, but I am sad to report that I did not.

Preemptive is not unreasonable, for sure you have to open a hand like x Ax KJx QJT9xxx because you just rate to go plus on the board, but you definitely want to block the opponents as well. I could see playing a 3C opener in 4th like this. More typically I've seen it played as something like x xx Axx AKQxxxx though, inviting 3N.
