"Yeah, 'picture cards' are good. Four of a kind is good, too, but they don't always mean you win. For example, a straight flush is higher than four of a kind -- a straight flush is when you have all five cards in consecutive order, five through nine, say, and they're all the same suit. And even higher than that is a royal flush, which would be a ten to an ace in the same suit. Those are rare, though. You got that?"
