description Dr. Pepper Overview
Dr. Pepper is a wild-card poker variant named for the soft drink's former 10-2-4 advertising slogan. In the commonly documented version, all tens, deuces and fours are wild, so each of those ranks may substitute for another card when players construct their hands. It is a dealer's-choice or home-game variant rather than a single universally standardized ruleset, so details such as the betting structure and whether wild cards have extra restrictions can vary by group.
