Jun 5 at 23:33 comment added Daniel Mathias The win condition is not clearly stated. Is it drawing one of each chosen rank? If so, there is the possibility that there is no winner.

Jun 5 at 7:06 comment added Shaun Andrew A single chosen rank and suit, is easier then the stated problem. As in the problem, the dealer can match the 2 ranked cards before the player resulting in a loss, even if the player has 2 matches themselves.
Jun 5 at 6:55 comment added EnEm This problem is not nearly as difficult as the plane boarding one. Try for example to find the probability of a chosen card( with a certain rank and suit) being dealt to the player. If you can understand this is just $1/2$ because of odd and even positions, then you can proceed onto this with ease
