<p>If I read you correctly, you're describing a hand like 4H 4D 4S 7D.</p>

<ul>
<li>4H 4D 7D - 15 2</li>
<li>4H 4S 7D - 15 4</li>
<li>4D 4S 7D - 15 6</li>
<li>4H 4D - pair (2 points)</li>
<li>4H 4S - pair (2 points)</li>
<li>4D 4S - pair (2 points)</li>
</ul>

<p>You are indeed correct that this adds to 12 points. You are also correct that you can shortcut the pairs to 6 points as Pair Royal.</p>

<p>What would be the score count for a hand with 3 - fours and 1 - seven
my thought is 12.  For 3 - fours equal 6 points (3 royal pairs) and the three royal pairs of 2-fours and the seven = 6 points.</p>

### Answer by username_1 on 2015-04-19. Score: 3

If I read you correctly, you're describing a hand like 4H 4D 4S 7D.

* 4H 4D 7D - 15 2
* 4H 4S 7D - 15 4
* 4D 4S 7D - 15 6
* 4H 4D - pair (2 points)
* 4H 4S - pair (2 points)
* 4D 4S - pair (2 points)

You are indeed correct that this adds to 12 points. You are also correct that you can shortcut the pairs to 6 points as Pair Royal.
