==> competition/games/poker.face.up.s <== If the first player draws four aces, the second player draws four kings. If the first player keeps the four aces on the draw, the second player draws a king-high straight flush, and if the first player pitches the aces to draw a straight flush, the second player can always make a higher straight flush. Instead, the winning strategy is for the first player to draw four tens. The second player cannot draw a royal flush, and in order to prevent the first player from getting one, the second player must draw at least one card higher than the ten from each suit, which means he can't do better than four-of-a-kind. Then the first player wins by drawing a straight flush from any suit. If the cards are dealt alternately as in real poker, the second player can always tie with proper strategy. The second player mirrors the first player's selections in rank and color. For example, if the first player picks up a red queen, the second player picks up a red queen. When they are done playing, their hands will be identical except one will have spades and hearts where the other has clubs and diamonds, and vice versa. Since suits aren't ranked in poker, the hands are tied. It is unknown if there is a winning strategy if the replacement cards are dealt together as in real poker, as opposed to alternately.
