If partner makes a t/o double where he doesn't want you to bid your seven card suit, that is a good indication that he does not in fact have a t/o double.

I agree with you upto a point if DBL is take-out.
I play this DBL as values. Not that i am trying to justify my pass, because even with the style i play this DBL, 5♦ can be the best bid i admit. I am not really standing strong with my pass. I hoped pd to have something like this i guess.

And dont forget, partner already knows 6 of those your 7 card suit. I thought extra 7th card wasnt good enuf with this poor suit to play at 5 level vs pd's stiff or void. But combined with ♠ void and the fact that pd's dbl does not neccesarilly deny ♦ support, perhaps i was too pessimistic. Also bidding 5♦ has some other merits even when it is wrong if they believe us and save.
