True, but there is still some analogy I think.
After a multi pass/correct bid they are not "known" to have a 7+card fit in the bid suit, but it's fairly likely - and if not, you are probably looking at the same suit in your own hand, with no reason to takeout anyway.


No, but you may wish to do something. My regular partner and I play that doubles of pass-or-correct bids are takeout or penalty.

What does that mean? Look at your hand and try to guess whether partner is likely to be short or long in the suit?

That's what it means, but it's usually closer to "how many times I cough will tell you" or similar.

Besides the danger of miscounting coughs (or forgetting whether you agreed to play PETO or POTE), there is also some risk due to the possible strong variant(s) of opponents' Multi: if opener vulnerable could hold 25 HCP balanced or even "just" a strong three-suiter with AKQx in the pass-or-correct suit then things might get tricky here.
