After a moment, one listener blurted out the answer before I revealed Jay's response. Anotherr quickly seconded that number.
But no one else at the table looked like they knew how to even begin the process of figuring out something like that. They were just there to play big cards and fold small cards, and think that made them an expert at this game.
I think poker players would do far better than 10%. But picture the folks replying to an ad for a near-min-wage job, No Experience Necessary. You nail this question, and you go straight to the head of that class.
