Help
You are in the fourth seat, and the bidding goes:
1D-1S-P-?
Your partner never or almost never overcalls with a 4 card suit, but the overcall may be light (8 hcp, or 6-7 with a decent suit).
What is your bid with the following hands?
1) xxx-xx-xxxx-xxxx
2) xxxx-x-xxxx-xxxx
3) Kxx-xx-xxxx-xxxx
4) Kxxx-x-xxxx-xxxx
5) Kxx-Qxxx-xx-AJxx
6) Kxx-Qxxx-xx-AQxx
7) KJx-Qxxx-xx-AQxx
8) KJx-KQxx-xx-AQxx
9) KJx-AKxxx-Ax-AKx
