Probability with one Joker

[advantage playe]

Well, being dealt ANY sequential any suit 10 to ace or ace to 10 would be to divide 311,875,200 by 4 or 8. I will guess 4 so just under 100 million to one apx. Is that about right or as an engineer once said , close enough.

wait , is it 8 ??

So, 50 million to one apx. ??

For any suit:
1) If both the sequential and reverse sequential are considered, the divisor is 8. 311,875,200/8 is 38,984,400


2) For only the sequential under consideration, the divisor is 4. 311,875,200/4=77,968,800

So the chance of being dealt a sequential spade royal flush is 1 in 311,875,200 (120*2,598,960).

But, if you're willing to settle for any suit in either direction that reduces to only 1 in 38,984,400.

Sorry about that - somehow I overlooked that post. At least, we agreed.
