Spider

Alright, sequential dealing it is! I am only half-way through my Spider experiment, but this last game has convinced me that my intuition was right: you increase your chances by dealing out the decks separately one after the other, as you insure a wider spread of the cards. It obviously simplifies the game.

In the last game I played, I actually cleared the deck off the board before I even dealt out the first batch of ten cards from the second deck. I wouldn't have even thought that possible. The experience is tempting me to go for a bolder experiment: to try to play the full Spider, that is, to play the four-suited game rather than the two suited red/black game. Just to see what happens.
