According to the original post you if you pay 2 BB's you can keep the extra card till after the flop. I'm assuming that I can remember the card between the time its dealt and the time I would be forced to throw it away after the flop, so that seems like a real waste of a BB just to have the card in my hand instead of in the muck.

Zetack, it's unclear from his post, but it seems like this is more like "optional crazy pineapple," where you can get the extra card if you pay for it, and then CHOOSE which one you discard.

Actually, Aces, I thought it was VERY clear:

"except you have the option of paying a big blind to receive an extra card that you must discard preflop or pay two big blinds and discard the extra card after the flop"

1 BB extra paid= Pineapple hand
2 BB paid = Crazy Pineapple hand

Now Zetack, is it worth one small bet to switch from Pineapple to Crazy Pineapple, especially if others don't? You have a positional advantage on your decision, similar to draw...
I don't know the answer.
