Great kata! It was a lot of fun! A fun addition would be to differentiate between trips and sets meaning trips are three of a kind with 1 hole card, and a set is three of a kind with 2 hole cards. You could also do a kata where you calculate equity for 2 hands, or determine the winner between two players. There are a lot of possible ideas like that for future katas!
