Answer to Question #35489 in Statistics and Probability for Paul OConnor

Question

This is a probability question.
There are 2 tables playing separate poker games.
Both tables are using a standard 52 card deck.
The poker games are identical (5 card draw w/ Jacks or Better to open). That means one player at one table requires the value of a pair of jacks or higher to open the game with the initial 5 cards dealt to that one player. If nobody meets that criteria the hand is redealt to start over (aka a "passed hand").
The question is ...does a table with three players have a greater, less or equal probability of "passed hand" than a table with 6 players? Not the individual but the tables?
