Jack Shit

Created in Oregon, this game currently has many house rules from table to table. This is an attempt to create a legitimate probability order for the points of each hand.

This game is played with a four card hand. It is very similar to poker except that there are addition hand combinations. Also instead of a strict ordering, hands are worth points and can get points from multiple types of hands, ex. instead of a straight flush, you get points for a straight and a points for a flush.

It should be noted that an ace, while being the highest card, has a numerical value of 1 (not 14). So the ace is counted as odd and so on. Also, Jack is 11, Queen is 12, and King is 13.

In no particular order, here are some of the hands you can get.
 * pair
 * two pair
 * three of a kind
 * four of a kind
 * straight
 * flush
 * Rainbow (all four suits)
 * Alternating suits (straights only, ex. 2C, 3S, 4C, 5S)
 * All even
 * All odd
 * All prime
 * All multiples of three
 * l337 (A,3,3,7)
 * 1337 suited (A,3,7 same suit, last 3 is same color)
 * Pi (3,A,4,A)
 * Avagadro's number (6,10,2,3)
 * e (2,7,A,8)
 * Golden Ratio (A,6,A,8)
 * Stub Straight (three card straight, middle card is a pair, ex 2,3,3,4)
 * Sausage fest (All kings and jacks)
 * Jack Shit (Hand where if jack was something else, you'd have something)
 * Three to king (King and 3 cards adding to 13)

Probabilities and points values to come.
