I've always just called this a "stiff", but on a recent VP binge, the
guy at the machine next to me called it a "RAZGU", but he did not know
what that meant. :)
VP fans use the rule of thumb that any hand less than a three card
double inside straight flush is worse than a clean draw of 5 new cards.
Computer simulations have verified this.

Uh ... Me? Uh, I've heard the term "courtesy flush", but not in the context
of VP. :) :)

From a discussion I recall on the newsfroup, this show is incredibly BAD,
and frequently cancelled due to low ticket sales.
Oh well ... :)
