To be clear- a lot of dicky card rooms do require that any quads payout (say for a Monte Carlo) be made with a pocket pair. Yes this is dumb, this is also reality.

QFT back on page 2 - this is where some people are confused. It's common to see house BBJ's require a quads hand to have a pocket pair IN THE HOLE to qualify.

And yes, just like any other time you play this game, the A plays. You still need 5 cards to make a hand.

The posters having a problem with the first part might be live noobs, or maybe not used to playing around BBJs with this qualification so I can kinda understand. But if you can't assemble A9999 as the hand in question, you're wrong and should stop arguing.
