Quick Summary
Five-card stud is a variation of poker where players receive one card face down (hole card) and one face up. After an initial betting round, three more cards are dealt face up, each followed by a betting interval. The player with the highest-ranking combination of face-up cards initiates betting in each round. The game concludes with a showdown after the final betting interval, where hole cards are revealed. While historically popular in the United States, its prevalence has significantly declined since the mid-20th century.1
