I played a flush consisting of the following cards:
6, A, A, A, A (all spades).
However, the game interpreted my move as attempting to make four pairs, so it didn’t count the 6. I was actually using The Idol (set to the 6 of spades) and a Hanging Chad (joker), which should have completed my flush. With a proper flush, I would have received a significantly better score, so this error caused me to lose the game. I believe the game should calculate all possible combinations and select the one that yields the highest score.

The game follows poker hand priority. The developer has already stated this is intentional

This is not a bug. You need to take care which hands you play. The higher-ranked hand always takes precedence. If the game works like you said, boss blind 'specified hand sets to money 0' will become OP boss.

The game also shows which hand it detects before you play it.

Furthermore, you said "all possible combination" which doesn't make sense since this game have probabilistic cards like lucky card, bloodstone, space joker, lucky cat.
