You could make lists for each type of successful hand, and compare it to the player's hand. (Assuming your hand is stored in a list.) Example: "If < (player's hand) = (full house) >"

I would represent each card as a two-letter pair, i.e. QS for queen of spades or 7C for seven of clubs. Each of these card strings (which could be put into lists to represent a hand) contains both the suite and value of the card, identifiable using the (letter () of []) block. I would recommend sorting the list lowest to highest -- this could be tricky but you should be able to look at Jens' project Sort for examples. Now, finding pairs and threes-of-kind should be pretty easy; just look for duplicates in the hand list. With a straight, just keep checking the next card in the list to see if it is one higher than the last. A flush is simple: take the first card in the list and make sure the rest of the cards are of the same suite. Finally, you should store all this info for when it comes time to check who has won. I hope this post made some sort of sense -- I'm typing on my iPod so it's do
Ifficult to be coherent.
