You know I saw that as completely different. The fact that you could pull the
joker on each and _every_ attempt was what made the Huckster so edgy. The idea
that a manitou encounter is simply a matter of inevitable mathmatics seems to
pat for me. Plus, as one of the only really balanced AB's (IMHO), the Huckster
doesn't need a guaranteed backlash to keep 'em cautious. The balance thing
refers to HoE mainly.
