So exactly how does this response to being stiffed help? It serves primarily to hugely decrease (to a value asymptotically approaching zero) the tokes the dealer is gonna get for the remainder of the down. And it serves to "punish" those players who ARE toking (unpleasantly reminding me of my days of gym class where we ALL got to run a mile when two guys out of 70 misbehaved). I just don't see how a scorched earth policy can be a good response.
