twodimes and 5cd

[rchandra]

Twodimes doesn't have a 5cd option, but one can simulate it for a headsup hand by using 2-7 lowball, right? Or have I missed something obvious? Clearly this can't work multiway, but whoever loses in 2-7 would win in 5cd and vice versa.

I can think of one case off the top of my head where reversing the 2-7 results wouldn't work-it involves one player holding the A-5 wheel. For instance, suppose I have A5432 and you have A7532. I would win both the 2-7 hand (my Ace-five beats your Ace-seven) and the draw hand (my five-high straight beats your Ace high).

Fortunately (?) the twodimes calculator has a bug which doesn't treat A5432 correctly.

For example:
