Five card stud - Online Casino Style

Home History Games News Dictionary		Five Card Stud begins very similarly to seven card stud, where the players are dealt one card face down, followed by one card face up (instead of two like seven card stud). Betting proceeds after that in normal clockwise order. The first round of betting begins with the player showing the highest-ranking up card, who may check. If two players have the same high up card, the one first in clockwise rotation from the dealer acts first. After the first betting round, another up card is dealt to each player and then a second betting round begins. The player whose up cards make the best poker hand goes first. Since fewer than five cards are face up, this means no straights, flushes, or full houses will count for this purpose. On all of the following betting rounds, the player whose face-up cards make the best poker hand will go first, and may check or bet up to the game's limit. This is where the game differs from its close twin. The fourth round is the last round before the showdown, if there is one. At that point the last card is dealt face up. Then the last round of betting occurs. Each player makes the best hand he can to win.
