Re: Playing Hold\'em (or Omaha) with two decks

I guess I should have intuited that, since you're just doubling the available cards- it shouldn't change the relative probability of one hand versus another.

Actually, it wasn't a bad intution. Doubling the number of cards does shift the probabilities, just not enough to changing the rankings. But tripling the number of cards starts to shift the rankings, with a pair becoming more common than nothing (and five of a kind becoming more common than a straight flush). Quadrupling the cards messes things up a bit more, making straights better than a full house.
