In playing this game you must consider that there are only three wild cards in play, plus the fact that there is no draw as in Spit in the Ocean. Therefore, three wild cards notwithstanding, a pair of kings or aces is a good hand to bet on in a five-handed game, and a pair of aces or two pairs is a good betting hand in an eight-handed game especially when you are holding a wild card. Three of a kind, straights and flushes are excellent ranking hands in this variation of Spit in the Ocean.
Stormy Weather
Stormy Weather This version of Spit in the Ocean is a variation of standard Draw Poker, with extra draws. Each player is dealt four cards singly, face down, as in standard Draw Poker; but after the dealer has received his second card, he deals a community card face down in the center of the table, another community card face down in the center of the table after receiving his third card, and a third community card face down in the center of the table after dealing himself his fourth and last card of the deal.
