POOR FELLOW!
One player raised the point that the deck could not have been shuffed. Obviously this was incorrect, as if the deck pot had not been shuffled, no player would have received more than four cards in any suit nor less than three. In fact, an: uzshuffled deck produces the least! freakish of all possible distribu- tions. This distribution, however, |is not particularly desirable, sa ́a regular diet. · Irregularities in the distribution of the cards are much more to be sought after than a ́dis-i tribution which follows a regular |pattern, and that pattern dictated
by the card manufacturers.
Such hands, as are shown above, or so-called perfect hands, contain- ing thirteen cards of a suit, are not impossible if the ordinary precau-| tlops of shuffing before dealing are taken. They are, however, so ex- tremely improbable that it is pro- bably safe to say that no perfect hand has ever been dealt with cards that have undergone the re- gular process of shuming.
