When players get this hand, it can bring in a lot of money if they play it smartly. In poker, getting a Poker Quads or Four-of-a-kind hand doesn’t happen very often, so it’s a hand that many players really want.
Poker Quads vs Full House? Which hand wins when they come face to face, we’ll find out in this article.
For example, if two players both have a pair of Kings (K-K) but one has a Q-10-2 and the other has a 9-8-7 as their remaining cards (kicker), the player having the Q-10-2 wins because their Q is a better kicker. They are only used to decide who wins when two players have the same hand. A kicker, sometimes called a side card, is a card or multiple cards in a poker hand that don’t count towards the hand’s rank. Four of a kind, also called quads, is a poker hand with four cards of the same number or rank and one card of a different number or rank (known as the kicker).
