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
98. Fairview High-Low Stud
98. Fairview High-Low Stud This game is a two-card High-Low Stud game that has three buy-ins, or substitutions. Each player is dealt a downcard after which a three-raise-limit betting round takes place. Then an upcard is dealt and another betting round takes place. This is followed by three separate buy-ins, with a betting round after each trade. Ace is a high card only. A pair of aces is a perfect high hand and a three and a deuce is a perfect low. However, a pair of sevens always takes the whole pot.
99. Five and Ten Stud Poker
99. Five and Ten Stud Poker In this variation, which can be used in any type of Five, Six or Seven Card Stud, mixed fives and tens are wild, but you must have at least one of each. Example: If you hold one five or more, and no ten, the fives are not wild. The same holds true if you hold one or more tens and no five. However, if you hold one or more fives and one or more tens, all fives and tens are wild. Deuces and threes may be used instead of fives and tens if desired. Four of a kind are common in this variation.
