5-Card Stud |
|
|
Winning a hand of 5-Card Stud is dependent
on both the cards that Players are dealt, and
the visible cards on the table. With four rounds
of betting, it is a game that requires skill in
being able to judge the strength of individual
hands, finish with the best hand, and win the
pot.
