In the example given, if dealt 7743, would you hold all of those? or just the 7's?
Thanks!

A few assumptions have to be made to answer this question as stated.
Let's assume the game is 9/6 JoB and the discarded card isn't a 4 or
3 and you're playing 5 coins.
If you keep 7743_, then the only paying hands that you can get on the
draw are 77437, 77434 and 77433. There are 2 ways to get 77437, 3
ways to get 77434, 3 ways to get 77433 and 47 draw hands in total.
In normal JoB, this would equate to the 8 paying hands of 3oak and 2P
for a return 1.9149, but in Quick Quads the 3oak become 4oak and the
return jumps to 6.5957 (2*125+3*10+3*10/47).
If you keep 77___, then you can have paying hands of 4oak, FH, 3oak
and 2P. Winpoker (or any of the other popular products) will tell
you that in normal JoB there are 16,215 ways to draw 3 cards from 47
resulting in 45 4oak, 165 FH, 1854 3oak, 2592 2P and 11559 non-paying
hands for a return of 4.1184. To determine the Quick Quad return,
you have to turn some of the 3oak into 4oak, just as before, and then
refigure the return. The only potential Quick Quad hand is 77734, so
the question becomes how many ways are there to draw this hand? In
this case, there are 2 7's, 3 3's and 3 4's remaining in the deck, so
there are 2x3x3=18 ways to draw 77734 and you have to convert 18 3oak
into 4oak. Recomputing the return using 63 4oak and 1836 3oak with
all other hands the same results in a return of 4.2405.
So, you keep the 7743_ and draw one card.
