I think you’re way off on the psychology of participants. Lots play poker. Bluffing is normal.

Many do play poker, but most play at fair games of poker and they play it for fun.

None of that applies to the suckers who bought DOCK based on market manipulation, which is generally a crime. [1] This is more equivalent to Three-card Monte, [2] which may look like a fair game involving cards, but which also preys on the would-be smart.

Your "lots" is unsubstantiated. "Some" is probably more like it.
