MATHEMATICS OF DRAW POKER

The delightful uncertainty OF the
great American game OF draw poker is
very clearly indicated by David A..
Curtis in a book Just issued entitled
THE Science of Draw Poker" The
work deals largely with the mathema-
tical possibilities of the game, figured
out from a deck of cards with all the
possible combinations in the pack.
The new beginner may find discour-
agement in the authors axiom that I'M
less player is familiar with the ma
thematical sequence OF possibilities he
cannot hope to take every advantage
Of the cards dealt him, inasmuch as he
follows 1t up with a declaration that
from the deck of fifty-two cards o.
59S,960 combinations may be obtained.
Continuing the mathematical analy-
sis further, Mr.. Curtis figures out the
number OF hands that can be arranged
in pack of ffty-two cards with this
astonishing result
