She says "but if you get a new setup your more likely to have a jackpot hand. really, its true! I see it all the time!" (interesting to note there is no jackpot)
I say "thats ridiculous. If you can prove it mathematically then I will believe you, until then its some crazy gamblers superstition. I don't believe it, please keep dealing with this deck."

Oh ye of little faith!
With that extra Ace in the deck, there are now five ways to make a royal flush instead of 4. (20% increase.) Ditto 20% increase on four of a kind aces. For any aces full of X hand, there are 10 ways to make the 3 aces, as opposed to four ways. That's a 250% jump!
It's even worse when the nits can't do math.
