    • First joker allows for skips in straights
    • Second joker blurs suits by color (clubs are spades, diamonds are hearts)
    • Third joker allows you to make straights and flushes with four cards
    • The ace is not scored here

      The ace isn’t scored here, but even if it was, if you had 4/5th of a straight and 4/5th of a flush, it’s still a “straight flush”.

      In other words, if the 7 of Clubs was actually a 2 of Clubs, it still counts.

        Pretty sure the ace is actually scored as part of a five card straight here, skipping the K, 10, 8.

          Yeah I was tired when I wrote that original comment.

          There’s the 7-9-J-Q four card straight flush

          There’s also the A-Q-J-9straight, but I think it doesn’t count as a straight flush.

          I dunno, I am always pleasantly surprised when things are actually straight flushes with those two jokers

          Sorry, I misspoke. It’s still scored because if either set is 4 or 5 cards, it’s scored.

          You can have a straight on one end and a flush on the other end, and as long as at least 4 cards are in either set, it’s still a straight flush. And all cards that work with either set counts in scoring.
