Rule conventions and variants

Name the setting

Write down the actual variant before asking a ranking question. A joker or reversed-ranking game needs rules beyond this classic comparison tool.

Two ace-run orders

The selector changes only the order of A-2-3 and A-K-Q at the top of the run list. It does not introduce wildcards or change the six-category hierarchy.

A useful comparison note

Record the selected convention beside each sample. This keeps a result understandable when you return to it later.

Ask the actual provider

An app’s help screen or a table’s stated rules govern its own game. Our educational output cannot establish how an unspecified service settles a hand.
