Bug: J-Q-K-A-2 Straight not working?

[Roronoa Pronouns]

For whatever reason, J-2 straights don't work. AFAIK, you're supposed to be able to 'wrap' around the ace when making a straight.

No, that's not a thing in poker.

[Phugu]

AFAIK the ace is either above the king or below the two but not at the same time

TIL, then. Maybe I'm confusing it with certain solitaire variants...?

You can't 'wrap around' in poker hands. The only caveat being the ace can be used in a low straight or high straight ( a 2 3 4 5 - a k q j 10)

There's a couple games where you you can circle around but Poker isn't one (I've never heard of any varient that allows it, though there's a lot of varients out there).

Maybe there will be a joker that lets you :P

I could see it, but would it be worth taking up a slot?

If it would also always be a negative joker (+1 joker slot), then the only cost is the money you spend on it. Then it would be worth taking if you go for straights.

Not sure if there is a limit on the number of negative jokers you can have at once, though.

Superposition used to let you wrap in the old demo I believe

[Rithrin]

You can always start a straight with A, then follow with 2, 3, 4, 5, so that might be what people are thinking of. In most card games the ace can count as a 1 if desired, but not used to 'bridge' the two kinds of A straights.

I take it this was too powerful?
