Hope you liked it!
Nice job, I liked it very much. Can't say I got this one, but boy I liked the answer. Really good.
I found this very easy, but good job none-the-less
Very easy, but I enjoyed it!
Well done...clever
great JOB!
Very clever!! I loved it!
WHOA! I had no idea what it was, and the hint just made it harder! I liked it anyway, especially since I am a poker person.
Yay! I got it!
You are the Riddle Man!!
What I love about your teasers is that your hints and explanations are just as fun and clever as the teaser itself!
Well Done!

First to comment. That was so easy that I didn't have to engage my brain!!!
how are you first to comment?
anyway great teaser!
anyway great teaser!
Good teaser. Easy and fun. Thanks for posting.
Way tooooo easy.
This one almost tricked me,I thought of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.But then poker came to mind. That was a good one
I thought we just had one about this - I learned about the 3 swords and 1 axe with it. So this one was easy.
I'm with Avonma, we just had something about the 3 swords & an axe. Easy, but well written, and the hint was hilarious.
There was a teaser a few days ago about the King of Diamonds (holds the axe). Made this one easier. Good job anyway.
I recall the ole "king with the axe, and the one-eyed jack" which made this a no brainer for me
i knew it as soon as i read 4 brothers.. lol.. theres another one just list this
I thought I read something like this in yesterday's teaser?
Neat! I might have found this challenging had it not been sent out right after the Red Ruler riddle (qv).
The cleverness and brevity of this lyric are certainly superior to that of The Red Ruler, in my opinion.

I like easy. Too many I can't get or even understand, but this was easy and I liked it.
Good one! I got it pretty easily, but afterwards I read the hint and thought that was tougher than the riddle itself. ;-)
I too thought the hint was tougher that the riddle itself. The hint requires knowledge of poker, while the riddle just requires knowledge of a standard deck of cards. All in all, a great teaser.
That was an easy one, but very cleverly written! Thanks and good morning!
I believe that this could also represent "the Beatles" = Sgt. Peppers loney hearts club band =
the hint didn't help too much...
The second time around was easier than the first. I did not realize I had done it back in 2011 and just took no time at all to say the answer. Easy peasy!

Very easy
I had never seen this one before. Good one!
This was a good riddle. I got it right away because I was familiar with the kings on the deck of cards.
Well written and a bit of fun. Really easy for me, but I still enjoyed it. :-)
Fun, easy and enjoyable teaser; I got it right away.
I didn't know they were "brothers", but I still thought it was fairly easy.
"Brothers" only metaphorically for those of you troo literal-minded t be aware of that fact. I rarely say how easy one of these puzzles was for me, lest I sound as if I'm saying, "Look how bright I am!" But in this case I won't withhold such a comment -- by any reasonable standard, this puzzle was too simple to have been posted at all.
Loved it! It's one of the only teasers I've gotten right so far...probably because I adore card games of any kind! Nice job!
Easy and good. I have no complaint about transparent riddles. I have posted several ultra-easy teasers myself. I've also posted some real bruisers. I think both have a home here!
I liked the rhyming scheme and imagery. The hint was quite entertaining. Definitely a worthy addition.
