You have three A's, let's call them AC, AS, AH (no diamond), and two 7's, let's say 7C and 7S.

* First, you have 6 points in 15s: 7C/7S/AC, 7C/7S/AS and 7C/7S/AH.
* You have no runs or double runs.
* Next, you have 6 points in Ace pairs: AC/AS, AC/AH, and AC/AH (also known as a Pair Royal).
* Next, you have 2 points in Seven pairs: 7C/7S.
* You have no flushes.
* You have no Jacks for his nobs.

This is a total of 6+2+6=14.
