Just a few questions, is LIST global or local? Does it get erased after the game is aquitted? If not, you should think of storing your LIST as a TAG on the game holder, have it stored like an array sorted by commas to retrieve and organize it all. I would suggest CTAG but it is online only, and sometimes players have connection issues.

You could probably sort your tags out (in a similar fashion) on the table masters/game hosts character as:

tag.poker.cardlist //cards to be played (all 52 shuffled at the beginning of the hand)
tag.poker.hand //current hand (to be organized as posted above)

The idea of LIST looks bulky to me, especially considering a gameserver can populate very high. With a couple tags, storing the info as an array, you can erase these after the game ends. Maybe it'll help, not sure.

Your code above looks optimized, loops are always a bit of a ram chug but it's the only way you can sort your hands, seeing that poker will have 5 cards to sort out between all players won't show much of a problem in my opinion... it looks alright.

An easy way to know how to sort your cards (by #), go to the store, pickup a fresh pack of cards for $1. Start counting them out, that'll give you a numbered list and an proper array to sort out
