Out of curiosity, have you ever seen anyone stop drawing their poker hand if
they're an Old Hand? I never have. Seems like a pretty useless advantage to
me. I mean, if you draw the Black Joker, you're going take backlash anyway,
so finish the pull. If you have two pair, a single card or Red Joker could
give you a full house, etc.. It's been my experience that greed kicks in way
before caring about backlash does.. Just wondering if you've seen the same
thing.
