The Mind-Bending Poker Puzzle

This week's puzzle challenges your perception of poker hands, asking which is stronger - a hand with four of a kind or a full house.

The trick lies in understanding the puzzle's context and how it relates to a real poker game.

By considering the potential for straight flushes, the puzzle highlights the subtle strategic advantages of certain poker hands.
