4nt-5c = 0 or 3 out of 5 key cards.
4nt-5d = 1 or 4 out of 5 key cards.
4nt-5h = 2 or 5 out of 5 key cards and NO queen of trump.
4nt-5s = 2 or 5 out of 5 key cards and YES queen of trump.
Over 5c and 5d responses, the next step ask for the queen of trump.
If the next step is the agreed trump , then it's to play (e.g. H is trupms , 4nt-5d-5h => to play) . To ask for the queen in this case, use the following step (5s) .
Some other examples, agreed trump is spade :
4n-5c-5d-5s = no Q trump
4n-5c-5d-6s = yes Q trump and no other kings.
4n-5c-5d-6d = yes Q trump and king of D.
4n-5c-5n = asks for specific king .
4nt-5c-5n-6c = have the K of club.
4n-5c-5n-6s = no kings (bid the agreed trump)
Overcalls

Tips for hand play
Leads
Over nt - K lead means a strong suit. P should play A/Q/J, or if no high card, signal count .
Discards
1st discard = odd-even : Odd > I want this suit. Even> suit preference
Afterwards, all cards and discards show count or encouraging/discouraging.
Also the echo for the 1st partner lead shows suit preference in the same way
General
Showing control can be also 2nd control (A / K / singleton / void)
Showing control is only after fit is established
Squeezing - give loosing tricks first. Need a long suit for the squeeze .
