Four of a kind

Four of a kind is a very strong hand and seldom beaten (with some exceptions). An example of four of a kind would be if a player were holding a pair of 4's in her hole cards and a two more 4's came up in the community cards.

Four of a kind can lead to big trouble when the four cards happen in the community cards. This means that all active players are eligible to use that four of a kind and the winner will (normally) be the person holding the highest hole card.
