Another important factor to keep in mind when playing Padooki is; when the cards are reshuffled the majority will be high cards, remember they are made up of discards and hands people did not want to play. At this point you will want to have a made hand and have your opponents drawing.

Is this true? I would think this changes odds a bit . . .

How do you think it changes the odds?

PS: Yes, it true. Its also guaranteed to confuse the dealer.

Perhaps not odds to draw to a suit, but odds to draw to an 8 or lower since most discards will be paint.

time to start discounting outs. Keep in mind there is also a chance that a paired low card is discarded.

20. What happens if there are not enough cards for everyone to redraw?

In this case all discards from previous rounds are reshuffled into the remaining deck and re-dealt to players as required. When this happens you will see a notice at the table advising players that discards are being reshuffled.
