Aces full may seem to be too good to throw away but might still be vulnerable, especially with lots of players in the hand. Of course, if you pair one of your other cards you will immediately improve to a full house as well as add 2 more outs for getting 4 of a kind. Likewise, on fifth, sixth and seventh streets you have these same 5 cards to make your hand.
On fourth street 5 cards will make you 4 of a kind: 3 wild cards and 2 aces. What are your chances of improvement to 4 of a kind? In the first hand you have a pair of aces and one wild card. Imagine that in two consecutive hands you are dealt the same starting hand: trip aces. In our example we will say you are playing a wild card version of 7 card stud in which there are 4 wild cards (e.g. While later we will temper that a bit, here we will demonstrate how important wild cards can be.
