Black Jack

If a black J is face up in a player’s hand, the player must pay $2.50 to the pot upon it being dealt/revealed. If the player does not pay, they must fold their hand. If a J is paid for, it is “activated” and becomes wild. If a player trades for or steals a black J after it has been activated, it remains wild.

Black 6’s

Black 6’s are played as either that 6, or any Ace

Killer 4

If the 4♣ is face down, that hand will be ruled dead at showdown. You may try to bluff with the 4♣ face down and win without showing down. However if the 4♣ is revealed in a showdown the hand is automatically dead.

The King’s Men

If a black King is face up, the person holding the black King must turn over one of his own hole cards. That person may pick which one he wants to turn up.

Codependent 2’s

If a player is dealt the 2 or the 2♣ on fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh street, he may then combine that 2 with the card on its immediate left while retaining the suit of the left-hand card. For example, if your board reads X-X-7-5-2♣, you may then combine the 5 and 2♣ to make a 7, wherein your board will now read as a pair of sevens. If you combine two cards, those cards can either play as the combined card OR the separate cards at showdown. For example: the hand J-9-5♠-9-2♣-J♣ does not read as J’s full of 9’s, only three J’s with a 9 and a 5. You may not duplicate a card that is already in your hand. For example, you cannot combine the 8♣, 2 to make the 10♣ if you already have the 10♣ in your hand.
