8 decks.
cut offs are plugged.
2 piles of 4 decks
tops are shuffled in one deck grabs, so the tops of the two piles become the bottom of the new pile.
split into 2 decks
same thing
split into 2 decks
same thing.
so there are 3 one time riffles. i think this would be fairly easy to map but am not sure.
its sort of like
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
where each letter is a one deck grab
then
A E
B shuffled with F
C G
D H
giving you
H + D
C + G
B + F
A + E
bit then you have
HD shuffled with AE (twice)
and BF shuffled with CG (twice)
giving you HDAE (bottom)
and BFCG (top)
am I on the right track here.... is this shuffle even worth bothering with. no stripping no cutting.
