1. Great job on these, I'm still trying to digest it all. I am curious if you have considered what it would take to modify all this for use in "Short Deck", or "6+" poker. It cause some interesting issues to take out the 2's, 3's, 4's, and 5's from the deck.
   The issues I'm trying to wrap my head around:
   o The "Wheel" is now A6789
   o Flushes are less frequent than full houses, so are ranked higher
   o Straights are also much more likely, and some places rank sets higher than straights. Especially in 6+ Hold 'em, where it's very easy to make a straight from seven cards
