Stud-Poker

World's first online poker with voice chat

Stud-poker is an interesting variation of the game. Players are dealt a card face down, known as their 'hole cards', and then a second face up. The player with the highest card showing opens the betting. If two cards are equalized, as in draw poker. A second face-up card is then dealt, and there is another betting interval, the player with the betting. Straights and flushes are not recognized in this preference to players have been dealt five cards, including their hole card. Players may drop at any time. The dealer is expected to point out which player is required to open at each betting interval, and also when he is dealing the third and fourth face-up cards to indicate possible straights or flushes. Thus when dealing a Heart to a player with only Hearts showing he should announce possible flush. When the players left in the game each have five cards the final betting interval takes place, and when bets are equalized the players turn over their hole cards for the showdown.
