Strategy for how to win at 5 card stud
poker
Winning strategy for five card stud poker is quite simple; but you
must show self-control and not allow yourself to chase a win.
The trick; is to only stay in if you have a pair or better.
Sounds simple huh? It is; but you must keep to this recipe.
As you get more experience, you can begin bluffing etc; as
you will have learned to know the right time to bluff. But
for now; just stay in when you are dealt a pair or better (you can
play the ace also; but expect a tougher competition for the win).
Why does this seemingly so-simple recipe for success work?
This may not at all poker rooms; but the one at the
Golden Tiger poker (banner above) or their sister site
Virtual City poker
have a very low ante for the game of 5 card stud.
This is for the higher stake games; at the $.50/$1 tables,
people will call all the way to the end. The higher up you go in
stakes; the more this strategy will work for you.
5
card stud poker is played in a very simple manner. You get
one card dealt out down, remaining four cards are dealt out face
up, one at a time, betting in between each card.
A pair of anything is usually a winner.
The way it works is; the high card showing starts the betting.
And they do bet; the whole idea is to chase off the other players
with lower cards showing.
For example; players ABC and D are at the table.
Player B has high hand showing with a King. Player B would then
bet and it's up to the rest of the table to decide whether they want to
call. Normally about half will call on the first round of bets;
unless you've an ace showing, Then most all will fold on the
first bet except someone that is really bad at this game; or
someone that has a pair; a hand better than the king you
have showing. (they also might have an ace).
Player B should still keep betting all the way to the end; and
then the way I play it is to check the last round of bets; in case
the other player does have a better hand; they can't raise
on me; but I ALWAYS call a hand showing: that is not
better than the one I have. Make them prove they have the better
hand.
Okay you say, I know all that. Get to the part
about how to win at five card stud poker!
Five
card stud poker is played online at only a few poker rooms. 5 card
stud poker is offered at all the Microgaming poker room faces;
such as the
Golden Tiger poker (banner above). But they all feed into
the same poker room so I suggest playing at
GT or their sister site
Virtual City poker
because I know the admin at
Casino Rewards and I can get you satisfaction with them much easier than
with the other Microgaming poker room faces. (Just in case we ever
need to go down that road).
