Weird Four Fingers and Shortcut Interaction
For starters, the jokers i have are Spare Trousers, Blue Joker, Four Fingers, Shortcut, and Baseball Card. I just completed a boss blind with a straight with two kings. I don't know if this is a bug or just a weird interaction between Four Fingers and Shortcut. If anyone else can say if something like this happened to them, i would appreciate it.

Four Fingers make it so that 4 cards can make a straight. Independently of having Shortcut or not.

So 4567 is a straight. And if 4567 is a straight, then 45567 also contains the same straight.

With Shortcut on top of that, it becomes crazy because even 2467 is a straight.

Push it one more step. With those 2 jokers, if you have 2467K, where all cards are spades except for the 7 of diamonds then what? 2467 is a straight, and 246K is a Flush. So the 5 cards make a... straight flush!

Update: I can also make a Flush House with 3 diamond Aces, a 2 of diamond, and a 2 of clubs. when i switch from the club to another 2 of diamonds i still have a Flush House. I think thanks to the shortcut i only need four of the cards to be the same suit. Therefore, I think the Four Fingers Joker didn't count the card that doesn't fit in the hand but still counts it for the hand to register in the first place.

In this case, not having Shorcut would change nothing at all.

You definitely have a full house. Four fingers make it so that 4 cards are enough to score a flush.

So you have both a full house and a flush. Flush house!
