How to play Double-Breasted Willie in the Woodwork

A variation of Poker evidently invented by Fibber McGee in a Dealer's Choice game.

 All spades are wild except the King, which becomes a deuce of hearts if you have clubs in your hand or a trey of clubs if you have a diamond in your hand higher than a 7. Red 5s count double if you have more black cards than red cards unless the player on your left has a one-eyed jack.

(As related to Mollie by Doc Gamble, explaining why McGee had been kicked out of the local poker game)
