I am trying to make a poker game with .asp and am having some problems. As of right now I have (with some help) a page with a DEAL button, once pressed it displays 5 random cards. I also have set a value to each card as Blackjack would, it then adds each value and gives a total at the bottom of the screen. Here is a screenshot incase anyone's lost already.

I am trying to make it work a little different.

1. Push Deal 1st time - 2 cards are delt
2. Push Deal 2nd time - 3 more cards, different row.
3. Push Deal 3rd time - 4th card on same row.
4. Push Deal 4th time - 5th card is delt.
5. Where it shows Total : 34 it will show what hand you have (2 pair, straight, full house, etc.).

I know it's a lot of work, but I'm willing to take the time to do it if someone will tell me what I need to do. I have 2 books here (1 beginners, 1 advanced) for asp so as long as someone tells me what I need to include I may be able to find it in there somewhere. Thanks.

Here is the source code as of right now.

You need to create a variable that acts as a counter. This can keep track of the number of cards to display. Then use an IF statement to display the different card variations according to the variable setting.
