| 5 Card Stud |
Stud poker is yet another variation of poker that has become popular the online casino. The popular versions that can be found online are 5 and 7 card variations. Stud poker refers to any of a number of poker game variants in which each player receives a mix of face-down and face-up cards dealt in multiple betting rounds. Stud poker games are also typically non-positional games, meaning that the player who bets first in each betting round may change from round to round (it is usually the player whose face-up cards make the best hand for the poker game being played).
Five-card stud poker first appeared during the American Civil War, and became very popular. In recent years, seven-card stud poker has become the more common stud poker game, both in casinos and in home games. These two games form the basis of most modern stud poker game variations.
The number of betting rounds in a poker game influences how well the game plays with different betting structures. Poker games with four or fewer betting rounds, such as five-card stud poker and Mississippi stud poker play well with any structure, and are especially well suited to no limit and pot limit play. Poker games with more betting rounds are more suited to fixed limit or spread limit. It is common (and recommended) for later betting rounds to have higher limits than earlier ones.
It is a common convention in stud poker games to name the betting rounds after the number of cards each player holds when that betting round begins. So the bet that occurs when each player has three cards is called third card or third street, while the bet that occurs when each player has five cards is fifth street. The final round, regardless of the number of betting rounds, is commonly called the river. |
