How do you play 5 card stud and texas hold em? What are the Rules?

Answer 1

I myself love to play stud, it is how i first got into poker. But i only used to play 7 card stud, so it may be different from 5 card stud i will have to go and look on-line and see but 7 card stud there is no button in the game, the dealer will start the deal to his left and deal out 2 down cards and one upcard to each player at the table. Most stud games usually have only 6-7 players because there is not enough cards to have 10 or 11 people play. Stud is played in two forms spread limit and fixed limit games, fixed limit games the betting is a specific amount like 2 dollars, and a raise would be to 4 dollars and so on with a cap of a bet and 4 raises. And in later round on 5th street the limit would be 4 dollars, and the cap would be 20 dollars on the round. Now if an open pair is showing on 4th street then a double bet is allowed, so instead of a 2 dollar bet a 4 dollar bet here can be made. And in spread limit the betting is usually 1-5, this means a bet of anywhere between 1 dollar all the way up to 5 dollars is allowed by the players. So if a player raises it up to 4 dollars, you can make it a maximum of 9 dollars. But fixed limit is the most common game so after the cards are dealt a bring bet is made by the lowest door card, So if the door cards were 3-6-7-9-A, the 3 would be the bring in bet, The bring in bet is a forced bet made by the worst hand, so if your limits were 25-50 the bring in would be 10-15 dollars depending on where you play, Players have the option to complete the bet to 25 if they want to, or they can just call the 15 dollar bring in. After the betting is complete you burn and turn giving another up card to each player. The best hand starts the betting after each round now, so if you deal an upcard to a player and he makes lets say a pair of aces, then you would say pair of aces new and high, and he would be the one to start the betting. Always annonce new pairs to all players so they know who is betting. Also on the bring in if there are 2 cards that are the same then the worst suit is the bring in, for example if the up cards are 2-2-5-6-9 then the lowest card brings it is, clubs, dimonds, hearts spades. so if it's 2 of clubs and the two of hearts the 2 of clubs brings it in. you keep dealing and betting till the 7th card, this card is dealt face down, then the hands are turrned up and the winner gets the pot, best 5 cards out of 7 win. There are a lot of rules for stud so it wold take days to explain them all, so good luck.

For me the main complicated or ought to I say the hand that has fee me the main chips is A Q suitable. I just about continuously fold this from early place at the instant. midsection place is extra approximately who's on the table and is sitting to my left. In late place ill merely limp. If pot is raised earlier me ill lay it down. then you quite mentioned......"Why do human beings save asserting 72 offsuit is the worst hand? Statistically 32 offsuit is worse and so is ninety two offsuit because it can not make a at as quickly as" 3 2 off healthy could make a at as quickly as on the flop 7 2 can not. so statisticly, 7 2 is worse. additionally 9 2 could make a at as quickly as merely like 7 2 can, besides the undeniable fact that the opportunities which you get the nut at as quickly as with 7 2 are very low.

Answer 4

Texas Hold 'Em (or Texas Holdem) is the primary version of Poker played in many casinos, and it's the version seen on television shows like the Travel Channel's World Poker Tour and ESPN's World Series of Poker.

These are the basic rules for Texas Hold 'Em Poker.

The Shuffle, The Deal and The Blinds

The dealer shuffles a standard 52-card deck.

(In casinos, the dealer never plays. A round disc -- known as a "dealer button" -- moves clockwise from player to player with each hand. The button marks which player would be the dealer if the deal were advanced from player to player as the game went along.)

Most Texas Hold 'Em Poker games start with the two players to the left of the dealer (the button) putting a predetermined amount of money into the pot before any cards are dealt, ensuring that there's something to play for on every hand.

This is called "posting the blinds." Most often, the "first blind" -- the player to the left of the dealer -- puts up half the minimum bet, and the "second blind" puts up the full minimum bet.

Each player is dealt two cards, face down. These are known as the "hole cards."

Betting Begins

A round of betting takes place, beginning with the player to the left of the two who posted the blinds. Players can call, raise, or fold when it's their turn to bet.

The Flop

After the first betting round, the dealer discards the top card of the deck. This is called burning the card and is done to ensure that no one accidentally saw the top card, and to help prevent cheating.

The dealer then flips the next three cards face up on the table. These cards are called the "flop."

NOTE: Eventually, a total of five community cards will be placed face up on the table. Players can use any combination of the community cards and their own two hole cards to form the best possible five-card Poker hand.

After the flop, another round of betting takes place, beginning with the player to the left of the dealer (the button). During this and all future rounds of betting, players can check, call, raise, or fold when it's their turn to bet.

Fourth Street

The dealer burns another card and plays one more face up onto the table. This, the fourth community card, is called the "turn" or "Fourth Street."

The player to the left of the dealer (the button) begins the third round of betting.

Fifth Street

The dealer burns another card before placing the final face-up card on the table. This card is called the "river" or "Fifth Street."

Final Betting and The Winner

Players can now use any combination of seven cards -- the five community cards and the two hole cards known only to them -- to form the best possible five-card Poker hand.

The fourth and final round of betting starts with the player to the left of the dealer (the button).

After the final betting round, all players who remain in the game reveal their hands. The player who made the initial bet or the player who made the last raise shows their hand first.

The player with the best hand wins.

In the event of a tie for the middle hand, each player involved in the tie splits half the pot and earns a leg. If a player gets 3 legs, then he wins the pot and the game is over. If more than one player gets 3 legs on the same hand, then they each split the pot.
