Poker Hands are sets of between one and five cards that can be played in Ortalab to obtain Chips and Mult for scoring.
This includes all of the standard poker hands, along with three “illegal” poker hands. These hands are possible in Ortalab because players can have duplicate cards, enabling hands that aren’t typically possible in poker.
Higher tier hands take precedence over lower tier hands regardless of their level or scoring. e.g., if your hand is K♦ K♦ K♦ K♦ 2♦, the hand will always be a Four of a Kind and never a Flush.
PokerHand is declared in ascending tier order. You can read the tier numerically as follows:
assert_eq!(PokerHand::HighCard as u8, 0);
assert_eq!(PokerHand::Pair as u8, 1);
// ...
assert_eq!(PokerHand::Flush as u8, 5);
// ...
assert_eq!(PokerHand::FlushHouse as u8, 10);
assert_eq!(PokerHand::FlushFive as u8, 11);Poker hands also include a base score,
which provides initial values for the round’s Chips and Mult.
These base scores can be accessed with PokerHand::hand_value as follows:
let (chips, mult) = PokerHand::Flush.hand_value();
assert_eq!(chips, 35.0);
assert_eq!(mult, 4.0);Only the card relevant to the hand are scored. All others are unscored.
Example 1: You play an ace high with 4 other cards. Only the High card base amount and the aces values are used for this hands score. The other cards are ignored.
Example 2: You play a pair of 3s and A K Q. Only the pair cards are scored. The other cards ignored.
