Another blackjack for blood question

I read that a sidecount of aces was a good idea. I agree with this. However bryce said that this allows the chance to add +2 for every "extra" ace per deck. So when the running count is -1 with 2 extra aces you can bet as if the count is +3. I was wondering how this is a good idea to bet more if there have been more than the average number of 10 s played?

More blackjacks

More aces result in more blackjacks. If the count adjusted for the extra aces indicated a bet increase it is because the additional chance of blackjacks more than offsets the the reduction of 10's

But...

I understand that if the count was +10 and there were 8 extra aces then more blackjacks could be expected. But if the count is negative, it wouldn't make any good sense to expect more blackjacks because you need those 10s, that have already been seen, to make the expected blackjacks

Trust your adjusted true count...

If your true count is +2 or higher, after adjusting for Aces, then increase your bet. If the true count is still less than +2 even after adjusting for extra Aces, then do not increase your bet.
