01A. NEVER pass an opportunity to overcall one spade with a good hand and a decent suit. The boss suit is worth a fortune! HOW in the world could 4th hand have passed these cards after this auction (none vulnerable)?

ought to be an AUTOMATIC one spade overcall – decent suit, offensive hand, great shape, the boss suit, nobody vulnerable, you can get the over call in on the one level. With all these things going for it, this overcall IS automatic.
01B. SUPPORT WITH SUPPORT! When your partner makes a simple, non-jump overcall, whether at the one-level or the two-level, make sure to raise with 3+ trump. The single raise shows 7-10 "support points." With 11+ points, CUE BID FIRST!
02A. SUPPORT WITH SUPPORT IS ALWAYS CORRECT. WHEN YOU HAVE EXTRA TRUMP LENGTH AND MOST OF YOUR TRICK-TAKING POTENTIAL IS RUFFING VALUES (RATHER THAN HIGH CARDS) MAKE A PREEMPTIVE JUMP RAISE TO EITHER THE THREE- OR THE FOUR- OR EVEN THE FIVE- LEVELS.
