In this game, I thought I had a 5 of a kind, but it doesn't seem to count.

(in case more moves get made, this situation arises when there are 29 and 23 cards left in our decks.)
Actually, even if 5 of a kind isn't allowed, I should use the four natural 6s in my four-of-a-kind, allowing me to have a full house in the second hand.
In fact, it's even weirder than that. If I go back a move and forward a move, the results keep changing!

i can't even visualize any match of this game.

You are correct @The_Shark_c, sometimes are displayed four 6 and an A, most of the times are three 6, one A and one JO. Moving back and forth the combinations are changing. Even hoodie's main Ace switches between clubs and diamonds.
Anyway, it seems you had four of a kind of 6, while hoodie had four of a kind of 7.

digging deeper into the rules, I find this:
a player is not allowed to have two identical cards in their face-up row. Therefore there is no 'five of a kind' combination and a flush can only contain one ace. A wild card is exactly equal in rank to the real card it represents.

Thanks, Ray. I missed that. In fact, could you provide a link, so my programmer can look for other gotchas?
However, it still doesn't fix the other problem (which didn't actually make a difference here, but it might some other time).

the other issue isn't a problem. When there are more than one way to make the top hand, the code will toggle the top hand between the possibilities with each refresh of the page.

Yes, but the second hand ranged from two pair to a full house, which might make a difference if the top hands were tied.
