Texas Hold Em

Credits to AndrewWMeier & BraedonM on GitHub for the project's foundation. I improvised their blackjack game into this Texas Hold Em simulator (no stakes!).

You and the house each get 2 cards. At the start, the board has 3 cards. With each raise the board gets a card, from which both parties' best hands are evaluated. The board has a maximum of 5 cards. Upon pressing stand or optimal move, 5 out of 7 cards (you/the machine + board) are chosen as your best hands respectively for evaluation.

*The optimal move button determines NOT the best move to win immediately, but suggests to raise if you are likely to win and vice versa if you are not (max profit / cutting losses).

*A kicker win is a high card comparison for when the main hand is tied/ belongs the the board only.

This was made as a finals project for my algorithms class.
