How to Play
Five Card Stud
Five
Card Stud
Players are dealt five cards in four rounds and
must make their best possible
five card poker hand from the cards they
are dealt.
The game begins with a small
ante from all of the players at the table. Then
each player is dealt
one card face down and one
card face up.
The player with
the highest up
card begins the
betting with
the bring-in
bet. The
bring-in bet is
a forced bet.
Play
then moves clockwise
with
the players either
calling the
bring,
completing the
bet (raising to
the lower limit)
or folding.
There is a limit
of three
re-raises in all
betting rounds.
All players
who have not folded and are still in the
hand are dealt another card
face up. This face up card is followed by
another round of betting that begins with the
player whose up cards make the best hand.
Since there are less than 5
cards face up no straights, flushes or full
houses count towards the best
hand.
Next a third
card is dealt face up. This
card is followed by another
round of betting.
Then a final
face up card is dealt
followed by the final betting round.
Then the showdown
takes place.
At the
showdown the player with the
best five card poker hand is the winner.
5 card
stud
is summarized as 1 down, 4 up.
