Betting Rules
As per normal poker rules - playing and betting proceeds
in a clockwise direction.
All Players must first ante before they receive their initial cards,
except the $0.50/$1 game which has no ante.
There are four betting rounds in a complete game of Five-Card Stud,
not including the ante. On the first round of betting, the Player
with the lowest value door card "brings-in" and starts the
betting - equal to at least half the minim bet for the game.
In proceeding rounds, the Player with the highest hand initiates the
betting. If hands tie, the Player to the left of the dealer acts first.
Betting increments in the game determine the bets. In a game of $2
and $4 betting increments, the first two rounds of betting and raising
are set at the lower level of $2, the other three rounds of betting
and raising are set at the higher level of $4.
The maximum allowable number of bets per Player during any betting
round is four. This includes a (1) bet, (2) raise, (3) re-raise, and
(4) cap. The term cap is used to describe the 3rd raise in a round
since betting is then capped and can't be raised further.
Once capped, Players will have only the option of calling or folding.
In betting rounds where Players have folded, the first active Player
left of the Disc/Dealer is first to act.
Tips For Playing 5 Card Stud
Be aware of your opponents' visible cards as you can see if you are
losing a hand.
If the cards you need to help improve your hand are visible in your
Opponents hands, consider them dead to you.
There are 13 cards in a suit. You need five of them to make a flush,
if the cards you need happen to be in your opponents' hand you have
no chance of them being dealt to you, however, if you can't see them,
it means that it is still possible to receive those cards.
It is advisable to fold if another Player's exposed cards are strong.
If you are trying to compete a Straight, check to see if another Player
displays the cards you need. You can then adjust your strategy accordingly.
Fold when necessary. Five-Card Stud poker is a game of patience; so
do not bet all your money on losing hands.
