If you had 52 cards in your hand...
QUADS (you cannot have pairs or trips any more since all the cards are in your hand)
You would have 13 sets of quadruples. A quadruple is composed of 6 unique pairs (if you lay the four cards out in a square then the unique pairs are the top two, bottom two, left, right, and the two diagonals). Each of the six pairs is worth 2 points = 12 points. (13 cards x 12 points) = 156 points.
RUNS
You would have 4 cards at each place comprising 13 card runs (4^13) = 67,108,864 points.
SUITS
You cannot have anything less than all cards counted (same with runs, above). Therefore you have 13 clubs, 13 hearts, 13 diamonds and 13 spades = 52 points.
Next are the fifteens. Yes this was crunched manually.
Combination Givens and Multipliers:
There is one unique combination of 4 of the same card. (one way to have four 2's)
There are four unique combination of 3 of the same card. (four ways to have three 5's)
There are six unique combinations of 2 of the same card. (six ways to have two 7's)
There are four unique one-card "combinations" of a card (there are four 9's in a deck)
These multipliers (1, 4, 6 or 4) will be used below based on the composition of each unique sum-15 structure.
Note for Tens: there are 16 unique ten-point cards (4 each of 10s, jacks, queens, kings)
Card combinations in a construct are always made "going even then down" to avoid double counting. Example we count 10+5. But never 5+10. The even part is we'd count 7+7 then down = 7+7+1. Pattern reveals itself quickly.
Construct Format:
cards that add to fifteen (card + card + card)
then ...
then the "combination givens" multipliers based on the extent to which cards in the construct repeat
= total number of combinations
then the reminder that each combination that adds to 15 is worth 2 points
and the total # of points
Using the first construct in the TENS section as an example:
T+5 (one of the 10point cards like 10/J/Q or K and one of the 5s)
...
16 possible Ts x 4 possible 5s
= 64 combinations
times 2 points per combination
= 128 points

Sorry, no knobs or points for turning a Jack. But there are gimmies. What did I miss?
Cheers.
But with whom would you be playing?

There are some errors in the above answer. First, each of the 4^13 13-card runs is worth 13 points. Thus, the total run value is 4^13*13 = 872,415,232!
In the fifteens:
EIGHTS: Missed 8+3+3+1...4x6x4 = 96 @ 2 pts = 192 pts. Also, the given numbers actually total 2560, not 2562. Thus total for EIGHTS should be 2752.
SEVENS: Missed 7+3+2+2+1...4x4x6x4 = 384 @ 2 pts = 768 pts. Missed 7+3+2+1+1+1...4x4x4x4 = 256 @ 2 pts = 512 pts. Thus, the correct total for SEVENS is 4696.
SIXES: Missed 6+4+3+2...4x4x4x4 = 256 @ 2 pts = 512 pts. Missed 6+5+2+2...4x4x6 = 96 @ 2 pts = 192 pts. Missed 6+4+2+2+1...4x4x6x4 = 384 @ 2 pts = 768 pts. Thus, the correct total for SIXES is 7232.
FIVES: Missed 5+3+3+2+2...4x6x6 = 144 @ 2 pts = 288 pts. Thus, the correct total for FIVES is 8776.
FOURS: Missed 4+4+3+2+2...6x4x6 = 144 @ 2 pts = 288 pts. Missed 4+3+3+2+2+1...4x6x6x4 = 576 @ 2 pts = 1152 pts. Missed 4+3+2+2+2+1+1...4x4x4x6 = 384 @ 2 pts = 768 pts. Thus, the correct total for FOURS is 5712.
The earlier answer missed 5440 points for 15s, and it overtotaled by 2. Thus the correct total score for 15s is 34,528.
The earlier answer was correct - the pairs are worth 13x12 = 156.
Thus, the total for pairs, runs, and 15s is 156 + 872,415,232 + 34,528 = 872,449,916, which is the answer I would give. If you want to add 13 points for each of 4 13-card flushes (doesn't really make sense to me, since your entire hand must be one suit to count a flush), that makes 872,449,968.

2 points for each pair you can make so the answer is - its worth 12

The main rules of Cribbage are that the first player to 121 wins. The game is typically played by four players with a standard deck of cards. There is a cribbage board used to keep score. Further information can be found on the Cribbage official website.

Full points minus the stuff you missed.
4 aces and 4 kings
I'm not quite sure what you were just asking there. If you were asking how many cards were in a full deck, then the answer is 52
