Thoughts on losing Ronny Simon in the Andrew Chafin deal

Many of you possibly played the card game War growing up. Two players get half of a standard 52-card deck dealt face down, and the top card is turned over, one at a time. The higher card claims both cards, with aces being high, and deuces the low. The intrigue kicks in when both piles flip a similar card. In that circumstance, three cards are tossed face down by each side, with the fourth card being flipped face up. The higher card pockets all ten cards. A player to be named later trade is a bit similar, as the result is known after a delay.
