I've recently acquired a deck of cards with six suits: Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, Clubs, Anchors and Crowns. Apart from that they're the same as a standard deck of cards. I realise that now five of a kind is possible but how have the hand rankings changed? The hand rankings in poker are ordered in terms of the likelyhood of dealing a particular hand, so since a straight would be more likely than a flush if one were to deal five cards from a shuffled deck, we say that the flush beats the straight.
Now comes my problem. In a standard four card deck the full house beats a flush. In a six suit deck i doubt that the probability of dealing a full house would be altered significantly. On the other hand the probability of dealing a flush would be reduced significantly because there are more suits so therefore less likelyhood of dealinfg five suited cards.
Also since a straight flush is also le likely, might it beat five of a kind?
