Subject: Re: [pokersource] 2+2 thread on super fast evaluators


Quite some time ago, "Cactus Kev" created a webpage about his fast 5-card
hand eval:

http://www.suffecool.net/poker/evaluator.html
<http://www.suffecool.net/poker/evaluator.html>

It exploits the equivalence classes of poker hands, where there are only
7462 distinct hand values. His indexing function is primitive, but the
potential for very fast table-based evaluators is clear. The bottleneck is
now in computing the hash index, and the 2+2 thread offers some clever
tricks to do that in under 50 cycles per hand.
