The following are some
variation of 5 Card Stud Poker:
Mexican Rollover
In this game the first two cards are dealt face down. Each
player has the alternative of revealing the card of their
choice. A round of betting takes place. A new card is dealt
to every player. The player then chooses to expose the new
card, or a card previously in their hand. Once everybody has
made their decision a round of betting takes place.
Play continues like this until the showdown.
Chicago
In a Chicago style showdown, the player with the highest spade
in the hole wins half the pot. Thus an Ace of Spades in the
hole is a sure winner.
No Peek
A game in which it is not possible to bluff. Each player gets
five cards, face down. Players are not allowable to look at
their cards. The first player exposes a card, and then bets
or checks. The next player then turns up cards from his hand
until he shows a hand that beats the previous players. Another
round of betting takes place. If a player turns up all the
cards in their hand without becoming the highest hand at the
table, they are automatically out. The hand ends with the
best exposed hand taking the pot. |
