Stud poker

Before Texas Hold em arriving in the 70s, Stud poker was the most-played poker game in the world. Up to now, it is kind of commonly acknowledged that Texas Hold is the most popular poker game around the globe, after which Omaha is, stud poker still gains its popularity among billions of poker players in the world.


The definition of stud poker goes like this: it is a variety of poker in which each player is dealt one card face down in the first round and one card face up in each of the next four rounds, each of the last four rounds being followed by a betting interval.

Stud poker has several variants such as 7- card stud, 5-card stud; Caribbean stud poker and so on.


Well how to play stud poker? As the definition mentioned implies, each player will get dealt 2 cards face down and 1 face up in the beginning, another face up card will be dealt to each player for them to make a hand. After a betting round the players will get 3 more cards dealt to them before the showdown 2 faced up,1 faced down (with a betting round in between). If a player has the same value card that is faced up then it is normally the player who comes first going clockwise from the dealer who will act first.

As far as I am concerned, the rules of stud card are kind of similar to those of Show Hand, which frequently appears in HK gambling movies.
