So if you'd been lucky enough to get Aaron's start you would have walked at the first offer then?

Yes. I was so tired I just wanted to go to bed.

How about if the game had taken place under better circumstances?

No decision to make until I was offered 10K. If the board was healthy - you go on until the 3 from 8 round ends. You have a 1 in 56 chance of taking out the top 3 during that round . Trust me I know!
I was playing on while the average between the 4th highest number and the 5th highest number remaining (in other words thinking one round ahead) was 10K or more. Then I was going to make a decision re Deal or No Deal
