Default about pokah-32 cards

You can find this variation of poker, at least in some european countries.The game is called pokah,which is played with 32 cards mostly.they use the 7s and above and the games are dealers choice.for the readers info the flush is beating the full house.
I want to make some hand calculations.does anyone knows a software that could help this research,or I have to do this manualy,by just dealing hand after hand?
Any recomandations are appreciated.

I've written some (amateur/student-level) simulation software that can handle variations in number of suits/ranks. What exactly do you want to know?

I want to make a calculation about positions and values.since half deck is used, the values of the cards changes considerably.
I want to choose some of the most common variations played and try to make a starting hand index.

It might be worth searching for posts about Royal Hold 'Em in the Other Poker forum. The games sound similar.

Edit: Wikipedia has the name of your game as Manila. You should post about it in the Other Poker forum.

There's some odds and other information for 32 card draw poker in Scarne's poker book and in quite a few of the other older poker books. A 32 card pack is quite common in Europe, I think the Scarne book (but I might be getting confused with another one) also has the odds for poker played a 40 card spanish deck as this used to be popular as well I believe.
Interestingly Manilla is the name of a French trick taking game played with the 32 card pack.
