I am assuming that almost everyone knows how to play five card stud. However, even I, one of poker's most ardent fans finds that game dull after a while. Therefore, for your competitive enjoyment I have included descriptions of several of my favorite poker games. Betting begins with the player with the highest face up card and continues clockwise around the table. Players then receive three more cards face up.
Players use the best five of their seven cards to construct a hand.
However, players may choose to construct a low hand or a high hand. The player with the best high hand shares the pot with the player with the best low hand. High hands follow the traditional poker hierarchy of hands. Low hands contain nothing. Ace,2,2,3,5 would be higher than Ace,2,3,4,6 because it contains a pair of twos.
