Wildcard Games poker
A wildcard is a card that can take on any value, usually the
value of a card you need to make the best poker hand. Wildcard
games are very popular among friendly neighborhood poker games.
If "deuces" are wild then every deuce in the deck
can take on any value. If you have three aces and a deuce, then
you can declare the deuce to "be" an ace and you automatically
have four of a kind. In games like baseball, 3's and 9's are
wild, which means that there
are 8 wild cards in the deck - usually resulting in four of
a kind or a straight flush.
