Re: [vpFREE] I GOT THE ROYAL TREATMENT AT MGM...TWICE!

When dealt "3-to-a-royal" in pick 'em, I'm not sure that the odds of hitting
a royal are the same as with regular video poker.

In regular video poker, you get to see five of the 52 cards before
discarding two of them. So, the two new cards are drawn from the remaining
47 cards.

In pick 'em, you only see four of the 52 cards before choosing your
final cards. So, the two new cards are coming from the remaining 48 cards.

In one case, you need two cards out of 47. And, in the other case, you need
two cards out of 48. But, I really don't know if it changes the odds any.
