Actually if you "hover your mouse over the cards to see the hands that would be dealt" you'll see that the opponent gets quite a good 'second best' hand as well. Lot's of things like '4 of a kind' beats 'full house' action. For some reason the author doesn't state this is one of the requirements but it must have been.

Cut one card later, and SB now has many of the same cards as dealer had. Many of the same cards as a good hand isn't necessarily a good hand, but it's certainly more likely to be good than from a random deal.
- benjoffe 16y agoThe two and three player decks have indeed been optimised to increase the opponents' hand values. The decks for higher number of players are too sparse for me to bother yet. -Ben Joffe
