Re: [DL] 5 Deck of Cards



A 5 suit deck of card will not change a lot the chances to get a hand. But it 
will reduce the chances to get a flush, or straight flush.

I will not make a demonstration (it is too OT), but the idea is that for these 
hands, you have fewer chances to get a card of the right color, and that 
otherall, the fact you have 5 suits doesn't changes a lot the chances to get two
cards of a given value.

The difference in chances of getting any hand will be approximatly the 
difference between the chances of getting a colored hand (flush) with 4 suits 
and the chances with 5 suits.

This does not take into account taking a third joker, of course.
