If you've played just a couple of hundred hands and have had five quick quads, you're doing pretty well, despite, apparently, not really knowing what you're doing.

If you click on Learn on this site, then game tips and select Quick Quads, you will find a lot about the game.

Why hold something like 3-7-9? This would not complete a straight nor a quad. It would only complete a flush if suited. You are right, obviously, to keep 10-10-7-3 as the game is based on simple math. Also do not be afraid to hold any single lesser value card which could turn into a quick quad. Aces are high value cards both at the top end and low end too.

Good luck to you.

Better read the rules first. The rules are available in the help section of the game.

A Quick Quad is a hand of 3 of a kind and the other 2 cards add up to that number...It's like a different way to get 4 of a kind. The higher the number, the more possibilities...
Examples ....8,8,8, 5,3 (5+3=8) or 8,8,8,4,4 (4+4=8) or 8,8,8,7,A
5,5,5,2,3...5,5,5,4,A...
4,4,4,2,2...etc etc...

Good luck to you amazombie!
