Title: Changing The Deck Changes The Game: Poker Without 52 Cards
Speaker:Mark Bollman

Abstract: We will examine how changing the composition of a deck of playing cards from the standard 52-card deck changes some 5-card hand frequencies. Some examples will be drawn from decks that have been proposed and marketed; others will involve hypothetical decks that may offer new interesting possibilities in game design.
