Pai Gow Poker Calculation Issue on the Wizard Website
Recently, I’ve been studying Pai Gow Poker and analyzing some data from the wizard website. I have a question: on the website ”https://wizardofodds.com/games/pai-gow-poker/appendix/1/“, in the Five Card Power Ratings table, the number of AAA combinations is listed as 635,504, but my calculations show only 634,656. According to the Trump Plaza house way rules, only 5 Aces (AAAAA+XY: 1,056 combinations) and full house (AAA+BB+XY: 633,600 combinations) should appear. I wrote a program to implement the house way, and my results match my calculations. Is there anyone who can discuss this with me?
Comments
1. I suggest you start a thread on this topic. The blogs tend not to be read much.
2. The calculations you refer to on the WOO site were done by a computer programmer named JP who no longer gets on this WOV Forum site.
3. Several forum members can help you to resolve this question. I am one and there are others. I will need to dig out my old spreadsheets on Pai Gow Poker.
Thank you for your suggestion. I am new to this forum. This is my new thread, and I look forward to your feedback.
