: The highest straight flush, A-K-Q-J-10 suited. Skeet flush : The same cards as a skeet (see below) but all 🌛 in the same suit. [4]

Flush: When wild cards are used, a wild card contained in a flush is considered to 🌛 be of the highest rank not already present in the hand. For example, in the hand (Wild) 10♥ 8♥ 5♥ 🌛 4♥ , the wild card plays as the A♥ , but in the hand A♣ K♣ (Wild) 9♣ 6♣, it 🌛 plays as the Q♣. (As noted above, if a wild card would complete a straight flush, it will play as 🌛 the card that would make the highest possible hand.) A variation is the double-ace flush rule, in which a wild 🌛 card in a flush always plays as an ace, even if one is already present (unless the wild card would 🌛 complete a straight flush). In such a game, the hand A♠ (Wild) 9♠ 5♠ 2♠ would defeat A♦ K♦ Q♦ 🌛 10♦ 8♦ (the wild card playing as an imaginary second A♠), whereas by the standard rules it would lose (because 🌛 even with the wild card playing as a K♠, the latter hand's Q♦ outranks the former's 9♠).

Some poker games are 🌛 played with a deck that has been stripped of certain cards, usually low-ranking ones. For example, the Australian game of 🌛 Manila uses a 32-card deck in which all cards below the rank of 7 are removed, and Mexican Stud removes 🌛 the 8s, 9s, and 10s. In both of these games, a flush ranks above a full house, because having fewer 🌛 cards of each suit available makes full houses more common.

A Kilter, also called Kelter, is 🌛 a generic term for a number of different non-standard hands. Depending on house rules, a Kilter may be a Skeet, 🌛 a Little Cat, a Skip Straight, or some variation of one of these hands.[5] According to Paul Anthony Jones, it 🌛 can simply mean a hand of little value.[6] According to Penn Jillette and Mickey D. Lynn, a Kelter is "a 🌛 nonstandard hand given value in home games."[3]
