In non-standard games where a big bobtail is counted to be a complete hand, it is going to rank much above a Full House and less than the Four of a Kind.
In most of the home poker games the big bobtail, which is the non standard poker hand will be used. These games are usually played for free or for just free pennies. When you play poker online remember that the big bobtail ranks below the 4 of a kind and much above the full house.
