Five Card Stud
Five Card Stud , Stud Poker for short or Open Poker , formerly also known as Star Poker (incorrectly from Stud ), is a variant of poker . Five Card Stud is the classic form of open poker that is rarely played today . This type of game has been almost completely replaced by Seven Card Stud , which is offered in casinos .
Course of the game
The same rules apply as in Seven Card Stud , but with the following differences:
- After each player has paid his ante into the pot, each player receives one face down card ( hole card ) and one face up card (in Seven Card Stud two face down and one face up card); this is followed by the first round of betting.
- The third, fourth and fifth card of each player is dealt face up, after each card deal a betting round takes place. A player who stays in the game to the end receives a total of five cards.
- If there is a showdown after the last betting round , the face down cards are turned over and the player with the best poker combination wins the pot.
Five Card Stud is mainly played with fixed limit .
