<p>Since a player would only have access to, meaning knowledge of,
his/her own hand, the joker can represent any card that is not in
their hand.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For example -- here are three hands from the same deal of six
hands<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>2S 3S 4S 5S XR</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>10S JS QS KS XB</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>AS AC AD 4H 4C<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>in BOTH cases the jokers would be the AS to complete the straight
flush even though the AS is in player three's hand.<br>

When handling wildcards (Jokers), may we assume that those
jokers can represent any card not present in the specific hand
they've been dealt into, or may they only become cards not
present in
<i>any </i>of the other dealt hands?</div>

That is, supposing a set "A" of 5 cards (a hand) that is a
subset of a set "B" of 25 cards (5 hands in a game), may a joker
represent cards that are in the complement of "A", or only cards
that are in the complement of "B" (the remaining cards that have
not been dealt as part of the five hands).</div>
