From The Odd Couple to Seinfeld, poker is a pop culture staple.
And like Jerry or Felix and Oscar, many players once chased that wild 4, Joker, or Suicide King to complete a hand. Wild card games are played far from the casino floor and they are a big part of poker history and lore.
From kitchen tables with friends and family to smoky back rooms and bars, the popularity of these games helped make poker a household name and game. Even top name pros like Phil Hellmuth grew up playing wild card games and looks back fondly on those times.
