A horrible bluffer, I would think.  I can't imagine John Galt representing a
hand he doesn't have.  I can see him playing 7-stud heads-up with Dagny...

4th street:

Dagny:  (x,x) 8s, 8c
Galt: (x,x) Td, Jd

Dagny bets 20 ounces of gold.  Galt calls.

5th street:

Dagny:  (x,x) 8s, 8c, 3h
Galt: (x,x) Td, Jd, Qd

Dagny bets 12 ounces of gold.  Galt calls.

6th street:

Dagny:  (x,x) 8s, 8c, 3h, 5c
Galt: (x,x) Td, Jd, Qd, Kd

Dagny checks.  Galt checks.

7th street:

Dagny:  (x,x) 8s, 8c, 3h, 5c (x)
Galt: (x,x) Td, Jd, Qd, Kd (x)

Dagny checks.  Galt checks and turns over 3c, 4c, 4s.  "Your pair of eights
are good, Miss Taggart."  Dagny turns over 8,8 in the hole for quads. The
RGPers watching ask her why she didn't slowplayon 4th and 5th.  She responds
haughtily, "Slowplay?!  Am I supposed to be ashamed of my quads?  When I
bet, I swear by my life and love for it that I have the best hand!"  She
then adds that on 6th and 7th street she'd only get called by Galt if she
was beaten (the truth).

I recently came to the conclusion that .sig files are basically the on-line
equivalent of The Family Circus cartoon.  Everyone reads them, yet no one
finds them funny but the author.  (And maybe not even...)
