There is no such thing as a high card in Deuces Wild. Discarding a deuce is forbidden! In the case of a shot at a natural royal you can do it. Never keep any other card you consider to be high in combination with a deuce. There is no point in keeping any other ‘high’ card with a deuce. Never hold two pair. You must discard one pair (it doesn't matter which) and draw three. As a rule, you don't want to play a machine that has less than a five-for-one payout on four of a kind.
