it would lose (because even with the wild card playing as a K♠, the latter hand's Q♦ outranks the former's 9♠). Straight Flush House: Same as Flush House (see below), but all cards are in consecutive order. Big cat: See cats and dogs below. Little cat: See cats and dogs below. Big dog: See cats and dogs below. Little dog: See cats and dogs below. Straight: When wild cards are used, the wild card becomes whichever rank is necessary to complete the straight. If two different ranks would complete a straight, it becomes the higher. For example, in the hand J♦ 10♠ 9♣ (Wild) 7♠, the wild card plays as an 8 (of any suit; it doesn't matter). In the hand (Wild) 6♥ 5♦ 4♥ 3♦, it plays as a 7 (even though a 2 would also make a straight).

Flush house: Three cards of one suit and two cards of another. Bobtail straight: Also called four straight, four cards in consecutive order.

For example, the Australian game of Manila uses a 32-card deck in which all cards below the rank of 7 are removed, and Mexican Stud removes the 8s, 9s, and 10s. In both of these games, a flush ranks above a full house, because having fewer cards of each suit available makes full houses more common.
