you have the option of paying a big blind to receive an extra card that you must discard preflop

I don't know that I'd want to pay for a card I had to discard. A big blind seems like a steep price just to have 49 unknown cards out there instead of 50.

would you pay the 2 BBs to keep 3 cards on the flop?

[/ QUOTE ]

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.
