			==Strategy==
			* If in doubt, bid 3 (the average number of tricks taken in a 3-player game)
			* Diamonds and spades (vs. hearts and clubs) are more likely to be used for bidding. Therefore, hearts and clubs are more likely in play, and their Aces and Kings (especially in clubs) more likely to win tricks. Diamonds are especially unreliable trick winners.
			* High cards and low cards are more valuable (as trick winners and losers, respectively) than mid-range cards; 9s, 10s, and Jacks tend to make better bid cards.
