As the (blocked) link you included says, all poker rules are based on the math for 1 deck.
Flush pairs and trips become possible in 4 deck games.
I'm certainly not a math expert, and I haven't run the numbers. I would expect that the standard rules and payouts would not be offered on a 4 deck variant, and any 4 deck variant would have a house edge that is significantly less beneficial to the player.
Sorry, I can't trivially calculate the 3CP House Edge for multiple decks.
Quote: raistaceHi! I was wondering if any mathematicians can help me with the following question: if you deal 3 card poker with standard rules and payouts but using 4 decks instead of 1, do the odds change (possibly in favor of the player?) I was reading this article about standard poker with two decks: /poker-basics/can-poker-be-played-with-2-decks/ and it does show that the odds change due to the number of outs for certain hands. I was thinking that since certain hands pay bonuses for the ante bet and pair plus, it could affect the odds overall, but wasn't sure.

Welcome to the forum. And ignore tuttigym’s rude response. With multiple decks there will be more of the big hands like 3 of a kind, which helps the player.
I do not have the math skills to answer your question, but even if someone does, it is more of a ‘project’ than just a simple answer. If you tell the forum why you are interested someone may decide to help.
I am going to take a guess and predict a player edge of about 4% with 3 decks.
Yes 5/4/1.Quote: raistaceSuper interesting, and I really appreciate it. Is this for the standard 5/4/1 ante payout bonuses? It seems like it's then slightly worse for the player (and probably will be worse the more decks you add).

I don't understand how going from a house edge to a player edge could be worse for the player. Maybe you don't fully understand the terminology.
