Anyone know if there are any free poker libraries out there that can do the following:

convert two poker cards into a hand classification, e.g.: feed into the function AsQh and it will return AQo

give you the strength of your hand, e.g. feed into the function your hole cards and the board (AsQs) (2s 3s 8c) and return "flush draw with two overs"

If you can't do that one yourself I don't see how you are going to be able to code anything anyways.

output first character = input first character
output second character = input 3rd character
If second character = 4th character output 3rd character = s
else output 3rd character = o

This takes a little more work but is a fun exercise that will teach you a lot about coding and problem solving.

out of sheer boredom (and while i should be working on my own work) i threw this together in php (impractical? yes.) for the first part:
untested but was a good distraction lol

This may help.

sweet, thanks Mr Flibble, C# code too which is what i'm working with.

From this I can do the rest, but perhaps someone else has been working on this as well or there is already a library for this too:

function to evaluate board "texture"
e.g.:
int GetBoardTexture("As 2s 9c")
{
return AceHigh & FlushDraw & GutShotStraightDraws
}

function to get possible hands that fall in to certain "HandType":
e.g.:
hand[] GetPossibleHands(Board="As 2s 9c", HandType=GutShotStraightDraws)
{
return hand[] {35o, 35s, 45o, 45s, etc..}
}

function to get HandDraws
e.g.:
int GetHandDraws(Hand="QsJs", Board="Ts9s2h")
{
return OneOverCardThatCompletesPossibleStraight & OneOverCardThatCompletesPossibleGutShotStraight & NutStraightDraw & NonNutFlushDraw & NutStraightFlushDraw
}

What are you making?

I'm working on a better/more in-depth PokerTracker / HoldemManger.

I have most of the hand parsing done, and I'm working on evaluating the hand and inserting into the database. I want to be able to track board textures / hand strength / relative hand strength so I can have something like this in the HUD (ultimate end-goal):

Villain:
VPIP, PFR, 3-bet, etc.. (standard stuff)
3-bets preflop: AA, KK, QQ
All-In preflop: AA,KK,AKs
All-In on Flop: Sets, FlushDraw, Straight Draws, Overs with GutShot
Known C-bets: OverCards, TPTK, Underpair
C-Bet(%) FlopTextures: AceHighFlop (100%), StraightFlushDraw (10%), KHighFlop(100%), QHighFlop(60%)
Checks Flop with: Sets, NutFlush, NutStraight, TPTKNoDrawBoard
etc...

Also by tracking all that stuff in the database, I can evaluate my play in intricate detail. I can determine which boards have cost me a lot of money when I've c-bet or if I'm throwing away too much money on turned flushes or flopped flushes, etc...

I don't know how much of this is feasible, but I'm making the app have the potential for this from the start

Ah. Good luck with it.

That's quite the task. There's a lot of information there to sort through and track, I could see the HUD getting quite large.
