In 5 card draw with the Joker 5 Aces DOES beet a Strait Flush. Its even in the charts of Super System in the section Caro wrote. I would figure 5 card draw to be a good authority on drawing games with wilds.

This game differs significantly from 5 card draw with jokers, and the probability of getting 5 of a kind may no longer be lower than the probability of getting a royal flush. Hence it may no longer be prudent to rank it higher in the hand rankings.

This is what the OP is saying, and is looking for help in determining whether this is the case.

Intuitively it seems that there is more possibility for the wild cards to convert normal hands to a 5 of a kind hand than there is for wild cards to convert normal hands to a straight flush. I mean to say that very many of your full houses and four of a kind hands will become five of a kind. Unfortunately I don't know whether this is enough and don't know where to start calculating.
