Great series for object oriented programming...

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!

Three years later and it's still reporting 4 card straights. Luckily it's random so you can just keep pushing the button, but still.

Muito bom!

yep, but that doesn't effect on the length of it.

The spec has always been clear about this deviation from common Texas Hold'em rules. Do we really want to push this change after this many years and 1000+ submissions?

this was done

This could have been done way back in beta. This will not be implemented.

Nice one indeed, i actualy did the smae as you.

EDIT: for Straights with an Ace, only the ace-high straight is accepted. An ace-low straight is invalid (ie. A,2,3,4,5 is invalid). This is consistent with the author's reference solution. ~docgunthrop

Upon revisiting poker rules more, wheels are generally considered to be allowed in Texas Hold'em. So disallowing this would make the game NOT Texas Hold'em. This needs to be fixed in the kata.

There are some typos in the description, such as A:♠ instead of A♠.

wow

this would invalidate all current, valid solutions to a blue kata and require editing of all four languages, just for a cosmetic change. Why should we do that ?
