Comment: So...in a wild game...

  Written By: Diamond Jack Margo  On: 1/31/2006
"You think you can do that to me? Charlie Luciano, Meyer Lansky and ME?"

My question, and this is open to Paul or anyone who wants to answer, is what beats what in a wild card game? For example, some guy we play with (nicknamed Pork Boy) plays a variation called "Dr Pepper", where any 10, 2 or 4 is wild. It's based off the old Dr Pepper ads where they told u to have one at 10, 2 and 4:00...which makes for a heavier habit than poker. I digress: Does 5 of a kind with a wild beat a natural royal flush? Don't laugh, it came up, and we sided with 5 of a kind despite the beauty of the cards.

But there are still only 5 cards that count towards your hand.

With that in mind, here are the hand rankings, starting with the best, that determine who takes the pot at the end of a hand:

Royal Flush
This is an ace high straight (A-K-Q-J-10) with all the cards being of the same suit. It’s a pretty rare bird, but if you get one, bet everything you possibly can because you can’t lose.

Straight Flush
This is any straight where all the cards are of the same suit. Another rarity, savor the moment and bet big when one comes your way.

4 of a Kind
It is exactly w...

A great reference guide!
I think it was a great idea to post the poker basics here at PokerSchedule.com. I know people who play home games on a regular basis who still can't remember if a flush beats a straight! You've compiled a handy reference tool here for poker beginners that I'm sure many people will appreciate. Great job!

Re: Wild Card Poker
Jack, first...WHY would you even play a game like that? You may as well be playing BINGO! That said- If you play weird games, you go for the weird. 5 of a kind in a circus game wins out.
