That was a surprising bid

This seemed like a misfit hand, and North would probably have 5♠, and EW is vulnerable.

 

Now double is defined as Takeout double, 5-♣,5-♠, 19 total points.

 

I decided to double just to see what would happen, but the continuation was a surprise

Perhaps I should have passed 4♣, but considering how many times the bot leaves my T/D in, this was a surprise that it found a bid here.

 

Now the board was from the Daylong weekend event, so the board was played many times

 

Here the player managed to play against 2♣X - Notice the bot did not remove the T/O-double

But really a hand with many different results as the player in South had some decisions to make
