Have a look at the Poker Probability Processor, specifically, the Classify_Hand subroutine within.

Very cool stuff...from lexicon.

    Be careful though. The Classify_Hand subroutine is broken, in that it doesn't count A-2-3-4-5 as being a straight. I'll go fix that now though, and update this message when I'm done. Sorry about that!

    Update: The Poker Probability Processor should be fixed now. No promises though. I have to run the stats again to check, and that takes about 30+ hours for 7 cards. If you want to use it, check it against the stats on that page, as they are correct (stolen from the rec.games.poker faq)
