I think you are right -- the cards in hand will be easier to count if they were numbered not just starting at 6.
3 & 4 card stacks are relatively easy to see but 5 card stacks now require some eye-straining counting.
Therefore, starting tomorrow, per your suggestion, we'll start numbering the cards in hand earlier -- starting with 5 cards of a kind.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
