Online Poker Hand - 'Four of a Kind'

'Four of a Kind' (or Quads), is an online poker hand that contains four cards of the same value, from each of the available suits. For instance if a player has 5-5 in his pre flop hand and the board comes 5-7-5, that player would have four fives, with a seven kicker. A player hitting four of a kind will be very unlucky if he were to lose the hand, as this is an absolute monster of a hand.

Many poker sites have bad beat jackpots which pay out if you lose with four of a kind (or better), usually 8 or above. A four of a kind can be beaten by a higher four of a kind (.i.e. four 8's would beat four 6's), a straight flush or a Royal Flush.
