Searched around and couldn't find a lot of good info about playing with a wild card.

Does anyone know of an equity calculator that can handle wild cards? Or know off the top of their head the equity of (in a game where deuces are wild) 23 vs AA preflop? 23 is like playing 33 (with five 3s in the deck) 34 23 A3s all at the same time. You also win if there is four to a straight or flush on the board. I would think that's favorite over Aces?

Any advice on how to play this deuces wild game?

Thanks

Are only 2s in the hole wild, or are community 2s also?

The only advice I would have for you is this. If playing with wild cards is considered fun by your group , then by all means, do it . IMHO playing with wild cards (4 deuces) is a lot less serious poker , so trying to approach it with math and so forth is not really needed. Just have a good time with it. Just one opinion.

Anyone playing in a game with wild cards, players are going to be so loose that using an equity calc is kinda lol. I mean, how would you range someone in that game?

No, I don't know any calculators that handle wild cards.


A wild card and any other non-wild card should be a favorite against any other pair, making W3 a favorite over AA.

Of course, a W3 is a dog to W4, and WA is freerolling AA, but WW will always make the nuts.

Have a fun time, don't bet too much.
