Default Re: Jay McCauley Article -- Representation Bias

My thanks to Jay for an excellent article.

I often wonder what effect the order of the flop in holdem has on the subsequent decisions that people make. For example if the flop is Jd 5d 6s, will some people give less thought to the flush draw possibility than if the flop is laid out as 6s Jd 5d?
I'm not sure if this is in anyway related to representation bias, but it seems as if some people act on visual patterns when making a decision. Although the flop mentioned is identical in content, I believe the pattern of the flop may lead some people to act in different ways than logic suggests you should act.
Sorry if this is way off base. Thanks again for the great article, looking foward to reading more.
