And while on the subject of straights, I feel that hand size is critical for this. For me, it is worth giving up a discard or a played hand to increase it while playing a straight deck. I've beaten ante 8 a few times with straights, although I haven't been able to get past 10 with this strategy.

I've had a few good runs with straight strategy too. Seems like there may be 1-2 more straight focused jokers relative to other hands...I like the one that gains +10 chips for every straight.
