Doug: Welcome back to Net Poker. BTW, you may have noticed on the third question in Joker Poker Noiel wanted to take a 9 and we accidentally gave him a Jack while giving Tom the 9. Turns out that didn't affect the outcome of the game since Noiel scored enough points to win on questions alone. We still regret the error.
D.J.: Sorry, guys, I can't tell my Jacks from my 9s.
Doug: No wonder you're a terrible Euchre partner. (audience laughs)
D.J.: DOUG!!!
Doug: I'm kidding. Anyway, it's time to play Deuces Wild Poker with Noiel and here's how we do it.
    |
Doug: You're going to get a chance to win some 2s or Deuces. As the name of this round implies, Deuces are wild and you can substitute them for anything when building your five-card poker hand. The more Deuces you have, the better the odds you'll win big.
|
Doug: And you win Deuces from our video screen. To make this challenging, we've randomly hidden 10 outlaw cards on the board. We have one outlaw on the first row, two outlaws on the second, three on the third and four on the fourth. You'll pick one number from each row and if you avoid an outlaw, you win a Deuce. If you can avoid outlaws a total of four times, you'll have all four Deuces. When that happens, we'll forget about building a five-card poker hand and instead give you all the cyber-cash that's in the outlaw's jackpot which stands at...
Doug: ...CY$52,500. (audience cheers) First, let's start at the top row, the numbers 1 through 6, and pick a number from there. Avoid the outlaw to win the Deuce of Spades.
Noiel: Let's try 2.
Doug: Number 2. Surely you won't find the lone outlaw the first time out, will ya?
|
(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (audience groans)
Doug: Ugh! I guess you will. All right. Let's try to find some Deuces here. Next row, 7 through 12, we have two outlaw cards. Pick a number that doesn't hide an outlaw and you win the Deuce of Hearts.
Noiel: 10
Doug: Number 10. Show me a Deuce there...
|
Doug: OK. (audience applause) There ya go.
|
Doug: D.J. places that wild card in your hand. Now, on to the third row. Numbers 13 through 18. There are three outlaws there. Odds are 50/50 that you'll win the Deuce of Clubs.
Noiel: 14
Doug: Number 14. Show me another deuce...
|
(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (audience groans)
Doug: Ouch! Noiel. You've won only one wild card. With the Deuce of Diamonds still up for grabs, we're at the point in the game where the odds are against you. On the bottom row, numbers 19 through 24, are four outlaws. Pick one of the two good numbers and that other red Deuce is yours.
Noiel: 19
Doug: Number 19. Come on. I wanna give this man at least two Deuces...
|
(outlaw says "YEEEEE-hawwww!") (louder groans)
Doug: Huh boy. Well, you've got one Deuce in hand. Let's see where the other 7 outlaws are...
|
Doug: All, right Noiel. Just one wild card to play with. During the break, we had you cut a deck of 24 cards -- and I hope you gave 'em a great cut. Just as before, Deej will deal out cards in pairs...
 |
Doug: ...but they'll be face down at all times throughout this round. You'll pick one card to add to your hand and then we discard the card you decline. Remember, the better your hand, the more cyber-cash you win -- based on this paytable...
|
Doug: A royal flush will give you CY$20,000. Five of a kind means 10-thou. So, should we add the left or the right card to your poker hand?
Noiel: I'll take the left one.
Doug: Left it is. Deej, show us a good card.
 |
D.J.: The Queen of Spades.
Doug: Well, there's an ingredient for the royal flush.
|
|
Doug: And D.J.'s now getting a new pair of cards ready.
|
|
Doug: From this new pair, would you like the left or right?
Noiel: Let's try the left again.
Doug: Left again. Deej, how about another Queen?
 |
D.J.: Mmmm... sorry... Jack of Clubs.
Doug: Oh, dear. Looks like we're shooting for two-grand and four of a kind.
|
|
Doug: Well, as D.J. deals out another pair, let's hope one of 'em's another Queen or Jack.
|
|
Doug: She's got 'em ready. Which card would you like?
Noiel: I'll go for the right one this time.
Doug: The right. We're hoping for another Queen or Jack and we get what.
 |
D.J.: Ten of Diamonds.
Doug: Mercy. We're going downhill fast.
|
|
Doug: Well, looks like we're shooting for a straight for 750 or three of a kind for 500 as she gets the last pair ready.
|
|
Doug: And there they are. Which card, sir?
