Tournament 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 standard Draw Poker,
In standard Draw Poker, minus wild cards, the content of a player's own hand does not drastically affect the contents of opponents' hands, but when four wild deuces are involved, the possession of one or two of them does affect opponents' hands considerably. The opponents' hands are weakened in proportion as a player's own hand is strengthened with wild deuces.

The game is played most often by women at their weekly Poker sessions, or by others who play for small stakes and don't take the game seriously. However, in Australia, where it is called Freak Pot, it is a regular feature in many big-money Poker sessions. The purpose of introducing the four wild deuces is to increase the action—and that it does. The whole level of the hands found in a 52-card deck (no wild cards) except for no pairs and two pairs is considerably increased in Deuces Wild. Examples: There are seven times as many three of a kinds, six times as many straights and almost fifty times as many four of a kinds.
