Good in what respect? Good, as in learning, good as in performance, or good as in execution?

I have watched your posts. You seem to be well grounded in the languages. I'm sure that you realize that a deck of "American" cards can be represented by the values 0-51, and that suits and values can be determined by using the modulus operator, mod 4 and mod 13.

The question remains: can you guide a problematical payoff that is profitable to the owner of the game, without resorting to "cheating" (controlling of the deal).

The answer is, "Yes, you can". It is not a done deal, though. You have to trust in probabilities that approach reality (truth, if you will).
