A
bug in
poker is a limited form of
wild card. One or both
jokers are often added to the deck and played as bugs. The bug is played as an ace unless designating it as a different card would complete a
straight,
flush, or
straight flush. For example, the hand
K-K-Joker-5-2 is just a pair of kings (with an ace
Kicker), but any four same-suit cards with a bug make a flush, and a hand such as
7-Joker-5-4-3 makes a straight.
