Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
73. Spanish Stud Poker
73. Spanish Stud Poker This variation is played the same as is Five Card Stud Poker, and the same rules apply, with the following exception—a 32-card deck is used, made up by stripping out all the twos, threes, fours, fives and sixes.
74. Canadian Five Card Stud
74. Canadian Five Card Stud Canadian Five Card Stud is played the same as New York Five Card Stud, in which a four-card flush beats a pair, but in this game a four-card straight beats a pair and a four-card flush beats a four-card straight. Skill is even more important here than in regular Five Card Stud and New York Stud.
