Re: Doomswitch? Part 6 Last one!
The number of distinct decks in flop and draw poker games is actually 52!/4!. I'm not quite sure how to figure it for stud games; it's somewhat greater, but from a practical perspective still not 52!.
Do you see why? |

[/ QUOTE ] For flop and stud games the precise sequence of the burn cards is immaterial to the "deck" in play, but that still doesn't jibe with your figure, and I have no idea why it would be so for draw games. Given a fixed number of players, the number of necessary "decks" is reduced because each player will receive N cards on the first deal, and the N! possible combinations of those cards in each hand play identically. Oh, are we playing with a bug? |
