It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

Yes, obvious redouble. You have 10 points with excellent defense and short hearts. You might well get to double 2 of a minor if partner has some spade length which is great. If they have a spade fit you'll probably get to bid 1N next.

Redouble is fine. You have great defense against any contract.
You'll double 2 of a minor, and you'll sit if pard doubles 1♠, although you'll bid 1N if pard passes 1♠.

I'd redouble, planning to double them in a minor suit contract.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

XX
I have great defense against anything, and will gladly pass if partner doubles 1♠, and will double 2m. We will almost always get a chance to show our hand if we decide to not double them.

Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

This is a prototypical redouble.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

100% agreement here.
But have this auction with the typical adv/exp online pickup or even casual pd and watch it go astray.
The other day I had to ask a "once in a while" PD why holding AqJ in ♦ wasn't adequate to pass my penalty double of 2♦ after I had XX'd. Of course, the NV 3N we ended up in had little play (he went off 1) and the vul opps were going for 800 in 2♦x and had nothing resembling a better harbor to dock in. (PD had opened ♠..I also had 4♥ and doubt the opps had 6 tricks in that suit or 7 in 3♣x.)
Maybe I shouldn't be whining, but I see these XX auctions go astray all the time, inspite of playing Jordon 2N=limit+ and that XX basically denies a decent fit.
