Discussion Points: 

Ace asking sequences should begin when you're committed to slam, not as a technique to help you decide to bid slam.

Ace asking sequences should begin after you have already established second round controls in all suits.

The person who starts asking about aces, kings and queens, keeps asking


Specific Treatments:

1)  Asking for controls versus Aces
2)  Playing specific K's versus Number of Kings
3)  0314 vs 1430
4)  Q ask, fill in the gaps of your trump suit
5)  Force the grand,-when you're obligated to bid 7
6)  Useful voids, yes there are treatments to show them
