Regardless of suboptimal defense on my part, this is not a hand that should reopen with a double......it seems that GIB looks at the void as extras both for bidding and doubling, while for doubling its actually a minus.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

That is a real dilemma. If the Bot doesn't understand what to reopen holding 5-5-3-0 distribution, he probably wouldn't have known what to bid if you had made a neg double, either.

YuIt not really that its void that's bad- void is no big deal because its not on lead rather that its nearly dead minimum on high card points (apparently it opens with 10 with 5/5 suits) and the high viability of playing in hearts contract rather a possibly difficult penalty double. I am sure GIB knows what to do if you double- raise you game in hearts. You really have to double with such a minimum hand- add the 10♣ and your hand much less marginal.
