You've had a lot of time in which to ingrain habits.
When playing Texas Hold 'Em, I'll fold on a freshly-dealt
pocket with a low-number/high-number spread (unless maybe
there's an ace in there.) Ain't much I can do with one
of those, and no there's no sense throwin' good money after
bad. That's my habit. But apparently other people can make
it work for them.
Everybody's got a personal style.

What a mother hen :-) Hey, you're still here to]
talk about it, after all.

"bagwell -- A region of debris at the intersection of two roads.
The debris is swept into a triangular shape by vehicles going
ahead, across, and turning right. Bagwells are a hazard to Roadies,
but are often mined by Freds for tools, coins, hardware, small parts,
and recyclable materials. Bagwells are named after Bryan Bagwell,
the Arizona, USA bicyclist and philosopher who first studied and
classified them."
With our local current snow melt-down, there are a lot
of snow bagwells around.
Actually, there's still a lot of leaf bagwells around,
'cuz the City didn't get around to cleaning those off
the streets back in November.
cheers,
Tom
