Say you started with JS JD AC 2C 7H, you could trade in your 2C and 7H for two other cards. The player holding the hand would obviously make a mental ranking of his current had and trade in the cards he didn't think were valuable for more.</p> Awesome, thank would be great!

How necessary do you think a remove_card method would be though? I certainly see the use for add_card but are there games were remove_card is needed?
