Please leave the variants involving a joker out for now.

There is no need to enforce the same restriction as pokerlistings. I will rephrase your question to avoid further misunderstanding on my part : "weodds makes it impossible to have invalid hands. pokerlistings rejects some combinations as invalid. Since the goal is to have a clone of pokerlistings, should I enforce the same restriction ?" and my answer would be "no, you're fine with the behavior that assumes a card that's not specified is random". >>> Another difference is that webservice allows to specify 5 board >>> cards for Holdem and Omaha, and 7 hand cards for razz.
