I heard this said at a poker game, "jokers wild for eights straights and flushes". What does eights refer to?

What it says. If you have a joker and 2 eights, you have 3 eights. It is not a very common game but a cool thing to say. The reality is few people play the old style poker these days anyway. It is all Texas Hold'm and no wild cards.
deuces & jacks, the man with the axe, and a pair of natural sevens takes the pot
That certainly makes sense. I'd never heard it before. Of course before tonight I'd never been at a poker game at the Long Branch with Miss Kitty next to the bar with desperadoes who had taken over the town.
