Tricking Your Brain: The Poker Puzzle

This week's puzzle tests your poker knowledge by asking which hand is stronger: four of a kind or a full house.

The puzzle hides a clever trick - it's not about which hand wins directly, but about which hand would give you a better chance of winning overall.

The hand with four of a kind might seem stronger, but the full house can actually block more powerful hands, like straight flushes.

This shows how even seemingly small details in poker can have big impacts on your chances of winning.
