<p>cardX: can be 1 through 20, one for each card. In holdem only 1-2 of these are used, in omaha 1-4, in stud/razz 1-7, in single draw games 1-10 is used and in badugi 1-16 (4*4) is used.</P>
<p>For the draw games: the first 5 (badugi: 4) cards are the initial cards, the next 5 (badugi: 4) are after the first draw. If a player keeps some cards then those cards' spaces are filled with "k", short for "kept". E.g. if a player gets 2-6 spades for his first five cards and decides to throw away the 4 and then gets a 7 of spades then the first 10 fields of cardXValue would be as follows: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, k, k, k, k</p>

Example 1: If a player gets 2-6 spades for his first five cards and decides to throw away the 4 and then gets a 7 of spades then the first 10 fields of cardXValue would be as follows: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, k, k, 7, k, k<br>
Example 2: If a player gets 2, 3, 5, 8, J of spades for his first five cards and decides to throw away the 2 and the 3 and then gets a Q and K of spades then the first 10 fields of cardXValue would be as follows: 2, 3, 5, 8, J, Q, K, k, k, k<br>
Note that it will k in the space of which card was there previously, so in example 2 where the player kept the last 3 cards, the last 3 fields of the first draw (ie. card8-10Value) are replaced with k.</p>
<p>I did not separate this into an extra table because I felt the lost space is not sufficiently large. Also the benefit for searching is far less relevant.</P>
