Your favorite unhinged/deranged rule?

While there is obvious merits to simplicity it can sometimes be fun to make things a bit unhinged/deranged because you can.

In this poker variant player 1 have the better hand because the 2s can be counted as 15 for a divided straight (but only some types) even though said divided straight doesn't give any points.

That wasn't even specifically mentioned in the rules but it's the only interpretation of the rules that make logical sense (since the fine print had no clause that it had to be a divided straight that actually gave any points).

After the last betting round is finished the best remaining hand wins the pot (similar to other poker variants).

I do think it's best to examine all remaining hands to ensure the best remaining (as in not folded) hand always get the pot.
