MP, Instant, 34
The interesting point of this hand is that now that we are playing on a level playing field I believe that the other tables were also on version 34 and would mirror our table for the same conditions.
Indeed there were other tables that mirrored this auction and result.
But what I found interesting is that some of the human Souths chose to open 1C rather than 1D. The auction was then identical except that at his final turn North passed out 4S where my North doubled.
Personally, as North I would be more inclined to double 4S if South opened 1C than had he opened 1D.
