You say the best card if you were playing poker (where ace is high)

I guess that makes sense if you're a poker player. For me (a non poker player) I straight away assume the Ace to be a one. Do you find people automatically place it as high without blatantly telling them so, or do you come accross awkward people like me? Otherwise it greatly reduces the chance of getting right.

I personally haven't found it a problem. K.E.N.T works 9 times out of 10 for me regardless. Most people know that Ace is high in poker and even if they don't, they'll probably select a 10, J, Queen or King which is fine .

It's not something I perform anymore but it's served me well.

Go out and test it. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for your advice. I'm just going have to try it out and see how I get on with it.
