99% wrong answer! A or B? - the Answer

 

Let's analyze the PLO hand again.

### **Community Cards (Board):**

A♠ A♣ A♥ A♦ J♠

— That’s **four Aces and a Jack** on the board.

---

### **Hand A:** 9♦ 10♦ K♠ Q♠

* Can only use **two** of these hole cards.

* No Ace in hand — just the **board's quads** with a **Kicker**.

* Best hand: **Four Aces with King kicker**

---

### **Hand B:** 2♣ 2♦ 4♦ 5♦

* Also no Ace in hand.

* Best they can do is **Four Aces with Five kicker**.

---

### **Winner: Hand A**

**Hand A wins** with **Four Aces and King kicker**, beating Hand B's **Four Aces and Five kicker**.

In PLO, kickers matter when both players use the same quads from the board.
