Description
You are in Las Vegas, in the middle of a Texas Hold’em poker tournament. All the players have gone on a break, and you find yourself alone with the deck of cards and your conscience. The temptation to cheat arises.
However, the task is not so simple: the dealer cuts the deck at a random position before dealing the cards. You must therefore be clever so that the deal gives you the best hand, regardless of where the dealer cuts. Additionally, you know you will be in the small blind, but you do not yet know whether there will be 3 or 4 players after the break.
Your objective is to arrange the deck in such a way that you are guaranteed to win the next hand.
