I had an epiphany just now.
When it comes to the Pelicans and winstreaks, they're like me when I'm at the casino-- which isn't often, I'm not a degenerate gambler yet but I digress. Anyway the only game I'll play is blackjack and I'm too nervous to play extensively and try to, you know, actually win money. If I win two hands my heart rate goes up and I contemplate walking away. If I'm feeling particularly crazy I'll go for a third hand, and if I win that I'm done. Walking away $40 richer than what I was?
