The Classic Game of 5-Card Stud


Overview


Once the premier choice among poker enthusiasts, 5-Card Stud was the game that dominated poker tables up until the Civil War. Originating from New Orleans, it traveled up the Mississippi River and found its way into the saloons of the Old West. During the Civil War, it gained popularity among soldiers from both sides, and variations of poker have remained favorites ever since.

How to Play 5-Card Stud


5-Card Stud is relatively easy to learn. Each player begins with five cards dealt one at a time. Initially, one card is dealt face down and another is dealt face up. While there are variations, the common approach is for the player with the lowest face-up card to begin the betting.

After the first round of betting, players who have called receive an additional face-up card. This is followed by another betting round. A third face-up card is then dealt, leaving each player with four cards. At this stage, those with a high-value pair have a strong hand, while those with high cards still have potential. Players still in the game receive a final face-up card, concluding the betting. All cards are then revealed, and the player with the best hand wins the pot.
