Poker? I barely know her...

A Texas Hold'em poker simulator written in Rust. Deals hole cards and community cards, evaluates the best 5-card hand from 7, and declares a winner.

Usage

cargo run

The simulator reads game_config.txt from the current directory. This file contains two integers on separate lines:

<number of decks>
<number of players>

Example game_config.txt:

1
2

How it works

Each round deals 2 hole cards per player and 5 community cards (flop, turn, river). Each player's best 5-card hand is selected from their 2 hole cards + 5 community cards, then hands are ranked and a winner is declared.

Hand rankings (low → high)

1. High Card
2. One Pair
3. Two Pair
4. Three of a Kind
5. Straight
6. Flush
7. Full House
8. Four of a Kind
9. Straight Flush
10. Royal Flush
