When dealt one deuce, you first need to determine if a wild royal flush is possible. If it is, you should hold all the cards involved in the wild royal flush draw. If the deuce completes a hand of four of a kind or higher, those cards for that combination should be held. If those possibilities are not there, you must try for the following hands in decreasing order of importance: four cards to a straight flush with the lowest card being five; three of a kind, straight, or flush; four cards to a lower straight flush; three cards to a royal flush and three cards to a straight flush with the lowest card being a six.

When you are dealt two deuces you should check to see if you have a hand ranking of four of a kind or higher. If you do then you should hold those cards.

If none of those possibilities are there you should hold the two deuces and draw three more cards.
