This is about scoring poker hands in general, and just lowest score wins.

leaving out the logic for scoring pair or higher hands, sorting the hand in 
ascending order, and then appending all missing card (units 1-13) in ascending 
order, lets you use A. (anagram) to score the hand.



  A. 9 10 11 12 13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

4183603200

A. 8 10 11 12 13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9

3704601600



above compares king high straight to an 8 replacement for the 9.  Lowest 
anagram wins.



   A. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

A. 0 1 2 3 4 6 5 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

I'm working on some code to work with low poker hands (as in a game like
Omaha or lowball).  Since not everyone is familiar with this domain, I've
put together a wiki page outlining what this means and the code I have so
far: https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/User:Devon_McCormick/Poker/Lowball .

This may be part of the NYCJUG meeting (
https://www.meetup.com/J-Dynamic-Functional-Programming/) in a few days, so
any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!
