Poker 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
87. Six Card High-Low Stud
87. Six Card High-Low Stud Played the same as Six Card Stud, in which the player gets his sixth card in the hole, plus the following additional rule: Any player may go for high or low, or both, according to rules governing high-low declarations as found under General Rules for Texas Hold'em Poker, page 45. As in Seven Card High-Low, the best starting high hand is three of a kind, and the best low hand is three very low cards. However, in this six-card game, three of a kind wins many a hand, and two pairs follow right behind.
88. Seven Card Stud—Deuces Wild Plus the Joker
88. Seven Card Stud—Deuces Wild Plus the Joker Played exactly like Seven Card Stud, except that a joker is added as a wild card and the deuces are wild. In this variation of Stud, cards shown do not speak; player must call or announce his hand. Once called, hand must stand; it cannot be changed.
