- Deuces is very similar to the game Busy Aces. Instead of starting the foundations with Aces as in Busy Aces,it starts with Twos (the Deuces). Also, the Twos are dealt out at the start of the game instead of remaining in the deck as they do in Busy Aces.
- When you are deep stacked you should play it and try to flop a set, when you have around 20BB you should fold it from early and middle position, and when you have around 10BB you should shove if.
Deuces is a solitairecard game which is played with two decks of playing cards. It is so called because each foundation starts with a 'deuce', or two card. It also belongs to a family of card games which includes Busy Aces, which is derived from Forty Thieves.
Deuces Wild Is More Complicated than Jacks or Better. Deuces Wild is an example of the 2nd type of video poker game in our broad categorizations (non-wild card games and wild card games). The strategy for Deuces Wild is more complicated than the strategy for Jacks or Better in multiple ways. For one thing, it’s harder to distinguish between. The actual game play of Kings and Deuces is identical to stud poker without any wild cards. When playing in a five card game, you are dealt one face down card and four cards facing up, with betting rounds taking place after the second, third, fourth and final card are dealt.
