Not sure if this is the correct forum for this...or if one even exists, but figure I'll ask anyway. I'm a programmer and I've given thought recently to writing some poker software. I typically use C#.NET, so if anyone can answer this with that syntax, it might save time.
I'm looking for an extremely efficient method of ranking both 5 and 7 card hands. 5 cards alone would be a good start. I don't really want to reinvent the wheel and spend time coding something that's readily available/efficient.
I found this:
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/Po...BotChallan.asp and I downloaded the libraries and can load cards in, but for some reason it doesn't seem to want to rank them. I've read the article several times and the concepts are well documented, but the function usage doesn't seem to be. The method he uses for hand ranking seems extremely efficient. Anyone have a solution out there that works?
