Convert a hand into a numerical value is a good idea.... it can permit quick comparision between hands... A poker bot want that... But to give an accurate result, i think that a pocket card enumeration is needed. Card to value conversion lose informations... it seems quite difficult to evaluate if a card draw help a hand value (or a range of hand value). > > I think there is a need for a function that focuses on the value of the > hand instead of the cards. > The library does not know when a player is drawing dead and will hapily > enumerate all the cards. Speed up the enumeration by discarding useless draw sounds great... But... speed up the enumeration for some specific cases could be at the cost of slowing down generic case processing. > Knowledge of the current hand values and how they can improve would > allow for a much faster > exploration.
