A Bluff uneven deal is expected when 52 cards do not divide equally among the players.

Deal the whole pack one card at a time rather than quietly removing cards to equalise hands.

Five players receive either ten or eleven cards: two hands have eleven and three have ten.

The extra card changes the starting workload but does not grant an extra turn or alter the rank cycle.

For a clean Bluff uneven deal, count the deck before shuffling and agree who begins.

A known complete deck makes later reasoning about how many copies of a rank remain much more reliable.
