This is from “Riffle Shuffle Systems”. I found it easier to do by swapping the right hand and left hand actions, so this is that description. This method sets up the deck so that in a five-handed poker game, the first player receives all three Kings and the dealer receives all three Aces. The instructions below have been rewritten to reverse the left and right hand actions from the original text. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
What You Need to Start:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 1: First Riffle Shuffle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This step sets up the first King and Ace to be correctly spaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2: Second Riffle Shuffle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This step sets up the second pair of Kings and Aces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3: Third Riffle Shuffle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This step sets up the final pair of Kings and Aces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Final Result:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After these three shuffles, the deck is set so that the first player will receive all three Kings, and the dealer will receive all three Aces in a five-handed game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Afterthoughts<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can extend this to stacking four kings and four aces. Start with the four kings above the aces on top of the deck. The process of slip cutting and dealing is the same, except the first shuffle is done with the four right hand cards going under six cards held back in the left hand. After that the left hand holds back four, then two, then zero cards, for a total of four shuffles. Since you have to maintain the large block of stacked cards, I use a Zarrow shuffle on the last shuffle.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is from “Riffle Shuffle Systems”.

(Note: You can perform a Zarrow shuffle on this last shuffle which will keep the stack together so you can have a more natural riffle.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
