I've spent two days searching for a 3-card poker LUT for Cactus Kev's Poker Evaluator, or even guidance on how to code something that can create one. I can't find anything. If anyone could provide information or guidance, it would be greatly appreciated.

Kevs 5 card evaluator in C is here http://web.archive.org/web/200902180426 ... uator.html
Is that what you want?
What is a 3 card evaluator and why do you want one?
Why not a 7 card evaluator?
What language?

My project is to design a 3-card poker game. The game has an optional bet on a 6-card hand (your current 3-card hand plus your last 3-card hand). I have Cactus Kev's 5-card evaluator code, but I was hoping to find a 3-card LUT for it (and a 6-card LUT if there was one).

Ok. Too busy at present to figure out and explain how to do this. Skiing next week so if the weather is bad or apres ski not appealing maybe I'll take a look. Haven't come across 3 card poker before, but I'm guessing it shouldn't be too hard to adapt Kevs approach. Famous last words...

Thank you!

Does it have to be cactus kev's design? I think I can do something like the two plus two evaluator which is much faster.

1. Write a naive evaluator
2. Evaluate all possible 3 card hands using the naive evaluator and put the results in a 52*52*52 array T
3. Use T as a lookup table

I ended up sticking with Cactus Kevs and constructing the lookup tables. Fortunately, the complexity of doing it for three card poker made it less of an undertaking. The up side is that I truly understand how it works - which in the end is a good thing.

Thank you for your help!
