To summarize: After reading the court records of the McManus trial and all the front-page testimony carried by The New York Times concerning the game and the Rothstein shooting, plus my conversations with four of the principals who were involved, I'm of the firm opinion that George McManus, Titanic Thompson, Nigger Nate Raymond and Joe Bernstein as a team had set out to fleece Arnold Rothstein at Poker with marked cards and stripper decks.
Strategy for Five Card Stud Poker
Strategy for Five Card Stud Poker The traditional theory of Five Card Stud is not to play unless you can "beat the board"—that is, you should drop out unless you have a better hand showing at the time you make your bet.
