I'll add a section to this article discussing the size of the Arrays deck.<br /><br />If the two games used the same deck it would be one of 50 cards. It's quite possible though, that as so often happens in real world card games, the two games use different size decks. <br /><br />A 65 card deck would make for a very boring Chop game, but it is quite good for an Arrays game.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-40821164674358215502009-11-02T16:33:46.347-05:002009-11-02T16:33:46.347-05:00In the Chop article you say "There are not li...In the Chop article you say "There are not likely to be 13 ranks per suit as in most real-word decks, since that would be 65 cards in a five suit deck, which is unwieldy and the probability of high ranking hands would be low. The most likely range is 7 to 10 ranks in the five suits, making a deck of 35 to 50 cards." Why in this article do you simply assume that there are 13 ranks and a 65 card deck? I find it much more likely that there are around 10, as you said, to make the deck more managable.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995066838832994638noreply@blogger.com
