I am creating a java poker game so far I've got my program selecting random cards for the player, dealer and on the board (river). I now want my player to be able to input a value as a bet, I've though of using "Scanner bet = new Scanner(System.in);" but I also will need a pot and a place for the pot value to go if the dealer wins. I think that I'll need to have 2 or 3 list Player's cash, Pot, Houses cash.
This is my code so far:-
public PockerMain() {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
List<PokerCard> deck = cardDeck();
System.out.println(deck.size() + " Cards In Deck");
System.out.println();
playersHand(deck);
housesHand(deck);
theBoard(deck);
System.out.println(deck.size() + " Cards In Deck");
}
public static void playersHand(List<PokerCard> deck)
{
PokerCard selectedCard = nextCardToPick(deck);
PokerCard secondSelectedCard = secondCardToPick(deck);
System.out.println(selectedCard + " this your random card");
System.out.println(secondSelectedCard + " this is your other card");
System.out.println();
Scanner bet = new Scanner(System.in);
}
public static void housesHand(List<PokerCard> deck)
{
PokerCard dealersFirstCard = dealerHandFirstCard(deck);
PokerCard dealersSecondCard = dealerHandSecondCard(deck);
System.out.println(dealersFirstCard + " this is the dealers random card");
System.out.println(dealersSecondCard + " this is the dealers other card");
System.out.println();
}
public static void theBoard(List<PokerCard> deck)
{
PokerCard firstBoardCard = boardCardOne(deck);
PokerCard secondBoardCard = boardCardTwo(deck);
PokerCard thirdBoardCard = boardCardThree(deck);
PokerCard forthBoardCard = boardCardFour(deck);
PokerCard fithBoardCard = boardCardFive(deck);
System.out.println(firstBoardCard + " this is the first card on the board");
System.out.println(secondBoardCard + " this is the second card on the board");
System.out.println(thirdBoardCard + " this is the third card on the board");
System.out.println(forthBoardCard + " this is the forth card on the board");
System.out.println(fithBoardCard + " this is the fith card on the board");
System.out.println();
}
private static PokerCard createCard (short suit, short rank)
{
PokerCard card = new PokerCard (suit, rank);
return card;
}
private static List<PokerCard> cardDeck ()
{
List<PokerCard> deck = new ArrayList<PokerCard> ();
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i ++)

{

deck.add(card);
}

return deck;

If you could help or point me in the direction that I need to go that would be great.
First thought i have is that you should do Player objects. It would consist in : - 2 poker cards - The amount of money the player/dealer has
Now the methods :
Hope this helps
