Given your current poker hand, the visible cards of your opponent's hand, and the total number of cards being dealt (5 card stud or 7 card stud). Determine whether or not you are likely to not lose the hand (output 1) or otherwise output zero. Your hand will be a matrix of card values (1:13 two=1, ace=13) in the first column and suits (1:4 clubs:spades) in the second column. Similarly for opponent's hand. Total cards (either 5 or 7) will indicate 5 card stud and 7 card stud. Since this is a Monte Carlo, I provided some slop in the answer. I performed 40,000 iterations for each hand, so the slop should be sufficient to cover reduced iterations (such as my reference solution which only did 3000 iterations each).
