Adds some more strategy, so I like it, but means there are decisions before new players really get hold of the game, so I worry. Perhaps a variant?
With the original rule, a player has to decide whether to keep the cards their dealt or discard them to take others. This is an upfront decision, plus it involves taking a chance on what the other two cards might be.
