The Role Of Aces, Jokers And Wild Cards In Poker

April 26th, 2009

There are many possible outcomes when you play an ace low in poker. In some poker games, you can simply play the ace low and generally ignore the straights and the flushes. In most poker games instances in which the ace is played low, 2 aces are always lower than 2 deuces.

In poker, a joker, can only be used to replace an ace or to form a straight or a flush. You are not usually allowed to use the joker as a wild card in poker. When playing for low, the joker is always the lowest rank not already held.

Wild cards are not often used in casino poker, but they can sometimes be used in “five of a kind” hands, which have a higher value than a straight flush.
