Assuming you mean 2^100,000 power or 10^100,000 power. But more than likely you are just full of SHAT

1^100,000 = 1

Undealt cards don't matter. Who cares if the bottom of the deck is in this order 3

or this order 9

?

If you're playing HU only the order of the first 9 cards is important - what order the undealt deck is in doesn't matter at all.

The number of different ways to arrange 52 items is 8.066 x 10 to the power of 67. It such a big number that if you wrote each combination on a sheet of paper, and stack each sheet on top of the last. It would be 4.43 x 10 to the power of 47 light years high. Compare this to a mere 20 items is 2,432,902,008,176,640,000- a number larger than the total number of seconds that have elapsed since the beginning of time ten billion years ago.

Its a fun fact to think about.

talking about small odds and saying this is pretty stupid imo

if I throw a dice a lot of times ill probably hit a lot of sixes, great

Mmm, what is a light year, if not a measure of distance, dear sir?

Maybe measure of IQ?
