Problem

Let's play a card game with a standard 52-card deck. I'm the dealer. I will draw 2 cards off the top of the pile. If they are both red, you get them. If they are both black, I get them. If they are 1 red/1 black, they are shredded. What's the probability that after going through all 52 cards, you'll have more cards than I?
