Sorry...I thought some common sense would be applied to my post...guess not...LOL I meant to define all possible hands that are worth something (i.e. flush, full house, etc.)...not just all possible combinations of cards in a deck. If memory serves (I don't play Poker), garbage hands are just worth the value of the cards (i.e. 2 players have garbage...the one with the "highest" value cards wins). So the "Hands" table has valid hands...a "Card Points" table indicates the pint value of each card in the deck. If a combo of cards ina hand can't be found in the "Hands" table, then it's garbage and gets it's pont value calculated based on the "Card Points" data. Is that any better Rick?? ;-) I'm sure there is more to it (especially depending on the type of Poker being played), but it's probably a good starting point... Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
