* Sometimes it may be worthwhile to “take a flyer” at a big winner even though the odds say otherwise.
* Your chances of getting an honest deal are pretty good.
* The cards you discard can affect the value of the cards you hold.
* You may have a better chance at a royal flush or high pair on the draw than you did on the deal.
* “Playing the odds” doesn’t reduce your chance at a royal flush by very much.
