How would you handle this one? Not so good at handling 5m+4M or 6m+4M

Guess I am mostly looking for your methods on bidding these types of hands assuming you are playing a strong 2. Usually I would open 1, but this and others are just too good.

A
A3
AKJT84

What methods do you use to find the 4/4 major fits? Another question I was debating is uses for minor bids after a Kokish relay. (I have never seen these or read anything about them.) like..

2-2
2-2
3/

Thanks for posting on the thread,

I think the classic meaning for 3m after kokish is: I have this suit and hearts as well (5+, 4+ minor)

Finding 4-4 spades doesn't look so hard, bid 3, and over 3 red bid 3 spades.

After 2 - 2; 3, responder can mark time with 3 to give opener a chance to bid a 4-card major

You don't have that luxury with diamonds, but you can use
2 - 2
3 to show single-suited diamonds and
3M to show 4M, 5+

You're in worse shape if 2 - 2 is a double negative because now you need 3 as natural.

Yeah this is what I'm currently playing, I think it's adequate. I do miss having a double negative over clubs(I don't play 2C 2H double negative), but whatever, it's worth it. There is just not enough space and finding 4-4 major suit fits must be the priority.
