5-Card Stud Poker
Article written by Lloyd B Hunt
5 Card Stud poker was the favorite poker game in old times. Until the Civil War 5 Card Stud was the game that poker players were playing. The game moved up the Mississippi River from New Orleans and then went into the saloons of the old west. During the Civil war the game became popular with soldiers on both sides and a version of poker has remained popular ever since.
How to play 5 card stud: 5 Card Stud is simple poker variation, each player is dealt 5 cards one at a time. The first one is dealt face down and then the next-face up. There are variations of how the betting goes at this point, but the usual way is for the lowest card showing to start the betting. A round of betting follows the face up card. The players that make the call are then dealt another face up card. A second round of betting starts and those that call are being dealt another card - face up. At this point every player has four cards. The players that calls are then dealt a final face up card. The betting is completed and the cards are turned face up. The best high poker hand wins the pot.
***It is hard to bluff in this game, as it is fairly straight forward to figure out what every player has as his or her best hand.
