Findings

What we found

What makes a sequence pure?

5♥–6♥–7♥ works because all 3 natural cards are consecutive and share a suit. 5♥–7♥–8♥ is missing 6♥. 5♥–6♦–7♥ mixes suits.

When a joker changes the result

5♥–joker–7♥ can represent an impure sequence if the table allows the joker to substitute for 6♥. Some rulebooks treat a wild-rank card used as its natural value differently. Check that wording before declaring.
