The poker module builds a small program I wrote, called
phands, that allows you to calculate the odds of receiving
different poker hands while varying the number of cards to be drawn,
as well as the wild cards. I wrote this as I wanted to know what the
odds were of receiving different poker hands in 7 card stud with
different wild cards, and was unable to find this information on the
web.
This program does an exhaustive search of all possible poker hands,
and counts what the best hands are. It takes ~:20 to search through
all possible 5 card hands, and ~13:40 to search through all possible 7
card hands.
