Joker Wild game

Will try my hand at Joker Wild (Kings) in Vegas in a week. The advanced strategy card states that when you have a suited QJ or QT you should draw five new cards when there is a flush penalty and TWO strait penalties. However, when practicing on WinPoker I have noticed that in most cases you draw five new cards with one fp and only ONE sp. Just one example: Qs Js 2s Tc 6c (I only see one sp). Am I misreading the rule or should I just disregard the rule? Can anyone provide info? Thanks, Ray

Just one example: Qs Js 2s Tc 6c (I only see one sp).

In your example, the Tc in fact counts as three sps because it
interferes with three different straights, from Ace high to Queen
high.
Replace the Tc with 8c, then you'll have one sp.

This strict interpretation of penalty card rules also applies to
other cases and to other games (I can think of one in DB concerning
holding A vs AH), e.g. counting the SAME card as both a fp and a sp.
