Doug Chatham says 'If you want to balance out the colors in a random
draw,'

I thought of that overnight, but you wrote it here first. I believe it is
the correct solution.

Whether flushes are a great worry, I still question. Until you've tried
it, and spent some time trying to find moves, and spent some time trying
to anticipate moves, I don't think one can appreciate how the poker aspect
limits one's choice of moves.

Why do you say ' a random draw'? Is that better poker terminology than 'a
random deal'?

I've played lots of poker, but not at a professional level by any means
(more like FIDE 1300 players, where I shine). I may very well have gotten
a few poker terms wrong.
