Things You'll Need:
- Deck of cards
-
Step 1
Know the basic rules. This type of poker has two important rules. Rule # 1: Before the hand is dealt, players must place an ante. After they place an ante, then they can get cards from the dealer. Rule #2: The dealer automatically loses if he does not have an ace/king combination. Beating the dealer's hand is the focus of UK Stud Poker.

Step 2
Ante up. All of the players place bets.
-
Step 3
Deal out the cards. The dealer deals 5 cards face-down to each player. He then deals 4 face-down cards to himself and 1 final card facing up.
-
Step 4
Look at your hand. If you're a player and you don't think your hand is good, you can surrender it, which gives up your ante. If you feel you have a good hand, continue playing by betting two times the ante. The dealer than reveals her hand. If the dealer does not have at least an ace/king combo, she loses and the round is over.
-
Step 5
Continue playing. If the dealer qualifies, then his hand is compared to the players' hands. If the dealer beats the players, the players' ante and bets are lost. If a player wins, he receives a 1 to 1 payout on his ante.
