Hand Values (Calculate Maximum Points)
-
Singletons: 2-10 = face value, J/Q/K = 11, A = 12
-
Pair: 2 × singleton value (e.g., pair of 6s = 6²
= 36)
-
Three of Kind: 3 × singleton value (e.g., three
7s = 7³ = 343)
-
Four of Kind: 4 × singleton value (e.g., four 5s
= 5⁴ = 625)
- Straight/Flush: 7 × (highest card)²
- Full House: 2 × (3 of kind + Pair)
- Straight Flush: Multiply all 5 card values
Examples
Pair of 6s + J + 4 + 3: 6² + 11 + 4 + 3 = 36 + 11 +
4 + 3 = 54
Three 7s + Pair of 4s: 2 × (7³ + 4²) = 2 × (343 +
16) = 718
Straight 4-8: 7 × 8² = 7 × 64 = 448
