Default Re: Some math

B) since you have a boat it will be harder for your opponent to also hold one because he can't make a boat using deuces and is unlikely to make one using eights.

I'm sure my thinking is flawed, but I'm not sure if this is accurate. Doesn't my having a boat mean that there are more cards of the same rank in the deck? For example, if I had 2222x, wouldn't my opponents chance of getting 4 of a kind actually go up (albeit very small) as I am 'removing' a rank from the deck?
So in this case I'm partially removing ranks, thus making a boat more likely??
