It's true and a cruel irony. Common sense, generally a useful attribute to have, can hold you back when it comes to fruits, an irrational nature, adventurous spirit, aptitude/suitable lateral thinking contained within a tempered, disciplined psyche is the best bundle of traits. Trayhop is Captain Discipline, so whilst there's little risk of him being in a services at midnight pumping away at a JG (Jackpot Gems that is, not me) he's also quite blind to winning opportunities at times.
It takes all sorts.
Everybody has their good points bad points and history of inglorious decisions.

I first saw it in Hounslow with OB. We got the swords for money back. The pot was on the low 200s. We didn't work it out. Had the pot been on 435, we wouldn't have played all out for it.
Most of the time it's only easy when you know.
