Let's start out with simple deuces wild strategies and branch out from there. The most basic of strategies as far as which cards to keep and which to discard is this: if you do not already have a completed hand once you receive your cards, keep any deuce or keep any pair in your hand and discard the other cards. In general, you will not want to keep a high card like you would in Jacks or better. This is because you need to get at least a three of a kind in order to win anything. Two pairs or lower do you no good.
