How to Play Poker Videos
This is a poker rules question?
Last night I was playing poker with some friends and we decided to play a new version of Omaha Hold Em' . We played Omaha with low in your hole wild. So to get to the point I had a Royal Flush with my wild card and my friend had 5 of a kind with 2 wild cards? Who wins, does it just matter on what the house rules are? I said there is no 5 of a kind and they said there is when you play with wild cards. If I am wrong, that's ok I just wanted other opinions on rules??

- House Rules usually 5 of a kind is high best to leave the wild cards out or be clear on that rule before you start.
- Anytime you introduce wild cards into poker then five of a kind becomes the highest hand.
- I have had this dilemma before too. I had played in multiple house games and each time it seems as though the rules were different. However, most of the time when someone called a game with wilds it was called before the hand was dealt that five of a kind is best. Your best bet (no pun intended) is to make sure all the rules are clear before dealing the hand that way at the end no one gets shafted.
- In most wild card games the 5 of a kind would be the best hand.
- When you play with wild cards you need to specify if 5 of a kind is allowed. So its a house rules sort of question. I would say since no special rules were specified then standard poker hands would apply. In that case, 5 of a kind is not a standard poker hand so you win....
