John "Aces" Radcliffe & his trait outside shootout

John “Aces” Radcliffe

Relevant text in question;

After each shootout play (including passing), if you have more cards in your hand than each other player (individually), John becomes a stud. If not, John becomes a draw.

If John is not in a shootout, does his trait check hands, causing him to possibly flip stud/draw bullet type?

If y’all need a reason this might be important, Interaction I suppose.

Hello.

Hello again.

John Radcliffe’s trait will apply during all shootouts, even if isn’t in a posse.

If he’s in a posse and becomes (and remains) a stud, he’ll revert to his printed bullet type once the shootout ends.
