The number of the participating players in 5 Card Stud can vary from
two to ten. At the start of the game the dealer deals each player one card, face
down. You have to look at this so called "Hole Card" but
don't let anybody else see this card. It needs to remain unknown to the
opposing players. The next round of cards will be dealt Face Up.
Then he puts the pack face down in front of himself on the table. The
player with the highest ranking upcard now makes the opening bet. Now you
have to either Call
or Raise
to stay in the game. After all the bets are made the dealer deals another
upcard to the remaining players. The second round of betting starts with
the player holding the highest ranking hand with the two upcards. The
player then has three choices. He can either Drop Out, Check or
Bet. The rest of the 5 card stud players can either Stay, Play, Fold
or Raise. The next round the dealer again deals another upcard to each
player. Now you have three upcards and "The Hole" on the table in front of
you. The third round of betting works exactly like the second. After the
bets are made the dealer deals one final round of upcards for a total of
five cards. The fourth is the final betting round and works just like the
second and third except players can also choose to Call instead of Playing or Staying. After all betting is
completed, one after
another the players turn over their Hole Cards, hereby determining the
winning player with the Highest
Rank, who wins the pot in the middle.
