Strategy and Tips: With Joker

With Joker

  • Hold dealt hands of a full house or higher
  • Toss a paying flush for a 4-card royal or 4-card open straight flush
  • Toss 3-of-a-kind for any 4-card straight flush
  • Toss a pair of aces or kings towards a 3-card or higher sequential straight flush or a 4-card flush
  • If none of the above, choose an in-between card that is neither high nor low to keep with the joker. Example: 6-10
  • Without any of the above, hold the Joker alone and receive 4 new cards

Without Joker

  • Hold two pairs or higher
  • Hold A-K of the same suit
  • Hold face cards in the same suit. Examples: K-Q, K-J, K-10, Q-J, Q-10, or J-10
  • Hold a 4-card straight or a 3-card straight flush if consecutive, discarding a small pair for the larger payout
  • Toss a flush for any 4-card royal draw
  • Toss a straight for any 4-card straight flush or royal draw
  • Discard a pair of aces or kings for 3-card royal draw
  • Discard a low pair for 4-card flush or possible 3-card straight flush
  • Toss a pair for a 4-card straight flush
