The Newbie Speaks:
Partners Aces: ( 16 - my Aces ) / 3 (round down)
obviously these aces will generally be in suits where I have fewer aces. This is a problem when I have a void
as I will be trumping Partner's aces.
x, and Ax are one loser suits. I can depend on Lefty having one of the missing aces.
AAx and AAAx are 2/3 loser suits. Nothing to bank on, but something.
So partners proposed aces in my short suits have to be discounted.
Void or Singleton(x), Ax: dock partner one Ace.
