Miscellaneous Decks
Joker's Added
One or more jokers can added to a Standard Deck as wild-cards. This type of deck was commonly used at California poker rooms in draw poker games. The jokers have an effect of making stronger ranked hands more common and is thought to increase the amount of betting.
Reduced Deck
Reduced decks consists of a Standard Deck with some cards removed. A reduced deck sometimes used in European poker games of stud or draw poker consists of 32 playing cards - the 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's and 6's being removed. Again this has the effect of making stronger hands more common and thought to increase the amount of action.
