Variants

There are many variants of poker. Too many to list here, as there are whole web sites dedicated to just the variants of Poker. What I wanted to mention was one interesting variation I have found, using a five-suit deck (65-67 cards), such as the one you can buy from Star Deck. (An interesting trivia note: At one time five-suit decks were very popular in the United States). This of course changes the probabilities quite a bit, and adds a few new types of hands. I think this may be interesting to do a table of that...

Suits of the Star Deck: Spades

Not to mention the fact that with this web page I have used only a small subset of the graphics I had created as part of my "m-deck", which has 4 colors with 20 suits each (total of 80 suits)... I wonder what kind of a poker game could be played with a 1080-card deck. Also, Jokers need to be considered...

Are you up for the challenge? (Or am I, for that matter...)
