Suppose your deck has more than four suits, or some number other than thirteen cards per suit. What happens to the ranks of poker hands?
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 4 F F F * B B B * O O O A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A 5 F F F F F F F B B B B B O O A A A A A A A A A A A D D D 6 F F F F F F F F F F F B B B B B B A A D D D D D D D D D 7 F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F B C C C C E E D D D D D D 8 F F F F F F F F F F F F F F G G G G G C C C C C E E E D 9 F F F F F F F F F F F F F G G G G G G G G G G C C C C E 10 F F F F F F F F F F F F G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G 11 F F F F F F F F F F F G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G 12 F F F F F F F F F F G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G 13 F F F F F F F F F F G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G 14 F F F F F F F F F G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G 15 F F F F F F F F F G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G 16 F F F F F F F F F G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G
O: the familiar case: straight flush > four of a kind > full house > flush > straight > three of a kind > two pair > one pair.
A: four > full house > straight > flush.
B: four > flush > full house > straight.
C: four > flush > straight > full house.
D: four > straight > full house > flush.
E: four > straight > flush > full house.
F: flush > four > full house > straight.
G: flush > four > straight > full house.
*: surprisingly only two cases where two of the scoring hands are equally rare: with four suits and twelve ranks, flush = full house; with four suits and eight ranks, flush = four.
I want to to thank you for this wonderful read!!
I absolutely loved every little bit of it. I’ve got you book-marked to look
at new things you
Have a look at my web blog … Jane
I have not looked into the effect of taking away the ace’s ability to be both high and low in a straight.
With more than four suits, five of a kind is a possible hand; I should work in its odds.
And I ought to redo the chart with colored hashlines instead of letters.
