Does anyone know how wildcards affect hand rankings? Maybe the question should be whether wldcards affect hand rankings? My intuition says they do, but I don't have the patience or confidence to do the math (or a computer with a handy "choose" function).
Specifically, I would be interested in info on the following cases: 1 joker (53 total cards); 1 wild; 2 wild; 4 wild; and 8 wild. If you only have time to do one case and are willing to show your work, I can piggyback from there. I am more interested in the rankings than in the drawing odds, % times you will be dealt a hand, etc. (although that would be the next step).
Thanks. Matt
