If it's a one off thing, it may be best to accept the limitations of the dice roller and say "okay we're going to play X number of hands, with a reshuffle between hands" and whoever wins best out of X wins the game. That may be close enough for the purpose. It leads to the possibility they may both get the 7 of Hearts (unlikely) or duplicate hands (very, very unlikely), so it's not really accurate but it should work well enough. In game you could possibly justify it as they're playing with multiple decks mixed together if it really bothers you. It's not completely unheard of, even though it isn't actually poker if you have more than one deck. I understand some casinos will use 2 decks mixed together for poker games because it makes the game go faster (casinos get paid for hosting so the more games played the more money they make). Or some people do it for fun, like if you're playing poker with 8+ people at once and don't want to run multiple games. Another possibility might be, if you wanted to do this much work, is the GM pulls all of the cards in one secret roll and puts it in a spreadsheet. Then the players roll off to see who gets dealt cards first (so you mark off the first five cards in the spreadsheet and PM that player the cards the player got, then you mark off the second and notify the second player, etc.) You could more or less simulate an actual game that way but it'd be really tedious.

yeah I was thinking the Gm could do the rolling but that is a lot of work. its not so much about the cards as it is a game of bluffing. its hard to play a bluffing game (even if your good a keeping ooc info ooc) when you know what cards each of you have. thanks for the help | |||

Secret rolls will take care of that. As long as you're not trying to bluff the GM! (c; | |||

Another option is have the GM use a real deck in meatspace. As long as it doesn't get shuffled when it shouldn't you're fine. | |||

Yes, of course you're right. |
