I think you have the same solution, basically, just the details are a bit different. I like how you handled the joker, I didn't realise you could just multiply your best streak of cards to get the best possible combination.
I didn't multiply the streak, I just took the jokers and added them to the highest hand already in the list. Is that not what you did? It looked the same to me.
This is what I meant, but I phrased it poorly :)
In my solution I reimplement the logic of identifying the hand value, but with the presence of joker (instead of just reusing the same logic).
