Four of a kind does not contain two pair?

That seems like an oversight. Four of a kind doesn't trigger "contains a two pair" cards, when, clearly it does.

I'm honestly kind of surprised that an oversight like that would make it through, considering how thorough this game is. Hopefully it can be fixed in a patch soon!

2 pairs is defined as one pair of cards plus one pair of cards of a DIFFERENT rank.

That's not what a "two pair" is though.

Lol four of the same thing isn't a pair.

It's actually four different pairs. Or two simultaneous pairs in three different ways.

you know what. I think you're on the right track. Ill send a strongly worded letter to the developer so they can know that any 4 of a kind is actually a pair with 2 grace cards. You know, for prestige.

Following that kind of logic, a straight wouldn't be contained in a straight flush, because a straight if 5 cards in a sequence of a DIFFERENT suit.

The game uses inclusive instead of exclusive definitions seemingly everywhere else, so it really should be changed.

This is the kind of technically correct that I love.

They are both straights, one also a flush. You're making up your own logic, this has nothing to do with two pairs.

Except the game does define Straight Flush as 5 cards of sequence numbers, same suit. There is no defined hand that says "Four cards same rank same suit = two pair"
