40. The new hand of five of a kind ranks above a straight flush.
Thus, five Aces is the best possible hand. (In some schools a royal
flush beats fives.)
41. The normal rules regarding equal hands apply. A joker has exactly
the same value as a natural card. For example, if one player shows
three Aces and another an Ace and two jokers, the next highest card
will decide the issue. (A joker may also be considered inferior
to a natural card.)
42. The rules are as for Straight Draw (Anything Opens), except
that the lowest hand wins instead of the highest.
43. Ace counts low. The lowest possible hand is therefore A 2 3
4 6, provided it is not a flush.
44. If two competing hands have equal high cards, the second cards
decide the issue. For example, 9 7 6 5 4 will beat 9 8 4 3 2, assuming,
of course, that neither hand is a flush.
45. Four cards are dealt in the usual way to each player, and finally
one card face up in the center. This card, which is common to all
hands, is wild and so are the other three cards of the same denomination.
The game proceeds as in Straight Draw, i.e., there is an interval
of betting, followed by the draw, followed by another interval of
betting.
