There is not a natural hand called 5 of a kind so before you deal the hand when you're playing with wild cards you are going to need to decide if your home game 5 of a kind is allowed. I like to play that it is not, so we're going to call this hand 4 jacks with an ace kicker. Moving around let's see if this player can beat 4 jacks well, we see right off the bat he had a pair of aces in the hole which was a good start. But he got no help and this 4 was a down card so it does not garner an extra card. The best hand we can make here is a pair of aces king 8, 6 behind it, time to fold. On the next hand we were working on a flush but at last a flush does not beat 4 of a kind so we're going to need 4 aces or 4 kings or a straight flush. It does not look like we got any of that, we did get 4 5s with an ace kicker, at last that is not enough. So it goes into the muck and then the last hand it gets to use 8 cards instead of 7 cause of this up 4. So let's see what he can make there's a deuce, has some spades going there's another 4 let's see if we can get some wild cards. No, no wild cards didn't even make a flush we got 4s and deuces with a king kicker so the 4 jacks with an ace kicker thanks to these two wild cards takes the pot.
