The evaluate and draw functions. Making the robot think.
Evaluate assigns an 11 digit number to an array of 2 or 5 or 6 or 7 cards. The number represents the value of the cards as a poker hand. As shown by the examples in the table below, the first digit denotes the rank of the hand, to wit: 1=nopair; 2=pair; 3=2 pair; 4=trips; 5=straight; 6=flush; 7=full house 8=quads and 9=straight flush, and the trailing 10 digits consist of a concatination of up to five two digit numbers which denote the strength of the hand within the rank where 24=ace, 23=king, 22=queen, 21=jack, 20=10, 19=9, 18=8, 17=7, 16=6, 15=5, 14=4, 13=3, and 12=2.

These are the strategy variables the robot uses to determine when to fold, call bet, or raise and how much: when player deals: before the flop: $dpf[1] $dpf[2] $dpfr[1] $dpfr[2] $dpfr[3] $dpfr[4] $dpfr[5];
on the flop: $df[1] $df[2] $dfb[1] $dfb[2] $dfb[3] $dfb[4] $dfr[1] $dfr[2];
on the turn: $dt[1] $dt[2] $dtb[1] $dtb[2] $dtb[3] $dtb[4] $dtr[1] $dtr[2];
on the river: $dr[1] $dr[2] $drb[1] $drb[2] $drb[3] $drb[4] $drr[1] $drr[2]
and when bot deals: before the flop: $pf[1] $pf[2] $pf[3] $pfr[1] $pfr[2] $pfr[3] $pfr[4];
on the flop: $fc[1] $fc[2] $fb[1] $fb[2] $fr[1] $fr[2];
on the turn: $tc[1] $tc[2] $tb[1] $tb[2] $tr[1] $tr[2];
on the river: $rc[1] $rc[2] $rb[1] $rb[2] $rr[1] $rr[2]
