Me and the guys were playing pinochle and (two) of us didn't have a marriage (any king or queen combo of the same suit) on the same deal. We started talking about the odds of this happening.

This is how we play...
80 cards
J-Q-K-10-A only
4 suits
4 of each card

i.e. J-Q-K-10-A x4 in each of the suits.

We deal 20 cards each to all 4 players (so no marriage was had in (2) 20 card hands.

Love to know the odds!!

Thanks!!
