Five Card Stud

Five Card stud
is probably the oldest poker game in existence, it like most other forms
of poker, is a game of skill where the most valuable skill is the ability
to make your opponent doubt his own probable superiority in any given hand. |

The Play goes
like this: Two cards are dealt to each participant, one face down the other
face up, this is followed by a round of betting. A third card is then dealt
face down, followed by another round of betting, then the fourth card is
dealt, also face down, followed by another round of betting. Now the final
card is dealt, face up followed by the final round of betting and the showdown
(if any players remain to show down). |

Your primary
objective should be to convince your opponents that you hold the superior
hand and to "chase" them out of the pot before it comes to a final
showdown (but not before they have contributed every possible dollar to
that pot). Unless, of course you actually do have the winning hand, in which
case your job is to keep every possible opponent in the pot to the bitter
end by feigning weakness. |

A order and a
true "guts" game. |

As always I advocate
a complete education. Some of the best books that I've found on Poker are:
Caro's
Fundamental Secrets of Winning Poker and The
Body Language of Poker: Mike Caro's Book of Tells. |
