Interested in calculating odds for hands in a new card game?

Dear Members,

Hope you all had a wonderful Happy Thanksgiving!!

One of our Mensa members, Alex Friedmann, is seeking assistance in calculating odds for hands in a new card game based on a modified deck of 42 cards (5 suits, 8 ranks in a suit + 2 blank/jokers). Many of the hands are similar to poker hands but are expanded to include up to 10 cards in a hand. Thus, there would be hands of four or five pair, double straights, full houses of 5/4 or 6/4, etc.

That is the basic concept. If any you are capable (or can steer Alex to someone who may be willing) to assist with this project, that would be greatly appreciated. Please EMAIL michaelpu222@yahoo.com and for more info or a to express your interest. Thanking you in advance.
