[Blindtlk] question about card games

[Jude DaShiell]

Something else I've been told by a Mathematician I worked with in the 
past.  He observes everything happening at the table where he plays, and 
if any of the other players do anything stupid he leaves the table 
immediately.  The reason for this rule is whenever anyone does anything 
stupid the house is going to clean up seriously.
