Neil, I would bet you've made a lot of money in your career due to the Jacoby Rule. Have you ever noticed how many tournament players seem to have no clue about when to play on, except in the most obvious situations? I attribute this to the fact that one gets relatively little experience playing on for the gammon in money games.
