Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
In playing this game you must consider that every player is dealt
In playing this game you must consider that every player is dealt one wild card and that there are three more wild cards available. In the seven- and eight-handed game, if you haven't got them, other players almost surely have. As a result, four of a kind is an average winning hand. Forget about drawing for straight flushes and full houses because anything less than four of a kind is taboo. You should drop out unless you hold three of a kind and you can draw for a possible four or five of a kind.
I would suggest the following minimum requirements for drawing
I would suggest the following minimum requirements for drawing cards: (a) an ace with the community wild card; (b) three of a kind including the community wild card; (c) a three-card possible straight flush plus the community wild card. During the last betting interval, if you hold three of a kind, straight, flush, or full house and there was a raise before the draw and two or more active players have called a raise, fold and throw your hand in, because generally any of these hands is not good enough to win.
