How to Play 5-Card Stud Poker

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Dean Hale and today I'm going to teach you how to play Five Card Stud poker. In Five Card Stud poker, you have an initial ante, and then a player is dealt the card down and then the next card would be up. They then decide whether they would want to continue to bet or to fold their hand. If you're playing in a group where you have say five or six players, you have what you have call a bring in bet. The bring in bet would be half of what thee initial ante is, and thee player that has thee lowest showing face up card is the one that has to do the bring in bets. This is not a choice. You actually have to have the bring in bet. It it it is it is a requirement. Then every player would have thee option of calling the bring in bet or raising it to thee original ante. Then, as as you as you go along, the cards would be dealt again, face up. And what you're doing is the the disguise is you're thee only one that knows what you're bottom card is. The betting would go around in in a similar fashion until all five cards are dealt. You would then conclude the game by after the final bet, turning over your whole card to show the cards you have. You will then use your your basic poker rankings of high card, pairs, two of a kind, three of a kind, and so on to decide who has the best hand. So, the the main thing in Five Card Stud poker is most of your cards are up showing. Your only deception is that bottom card. So if you're going to bluff, bluff well. My name is Dean Hale, good luck at the tables."
