Stud Poker
There are different variations of stud poker, the main ones being five card stud and seven card stud. Seven card stud is by far the most popular
Players receive 7 cards, 3 "face-down" cards and 4 "face-up" cards.
Your hand is determined by using the best five of seven cards.
There are five betting rounds in Seven Card Stud. One bet and three raises are allowed on each betting round. To continue to play, players must call all action to them on each street or betting round (unless they are all-in).
1) Everyone antes (puts a predetermined amount in the pot before the cards are dealt). This amount is based on the size of the game.
2) Each player is dealt three cards (two "down" cards and one "up" card). The "up" card is also known as the "door card" or "Third Street". The lowest "up" card must initiate the action with a "Bring-In" bet. (If two or more players have the same lowest card, the person who brings it in is determined by suit order progressing from clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades.)
3) Upon completion of the first round of betting, another card is dealt face-up to each player that still remains in the pot (those who didn't fold on "third street"). This is "Fourth Street" (the second round of betting). From "Fourth Street" on, the highest hand showing begins the action by checking or betting.
4) If a pair is showing on "Fourth Street", players have the option to make a single or double bet. If your opponent makes a single bet, you may call, raise a single bet, raise a double bet, or fold. If your opponent makes a double bet and you wish to raise, you may only raise an equal amount.)
5) Upon completion of the betting on "fourth street", another card is dealt face-up to those who remain in the pot. This is called "Fifth Street" (the third round of betting - which doubles - and continues at this amount for the remaining betting rounds). The highest hand showing again starts the action by checking or betting.
6) Upon the completion of betting on "fifth street", another card is dealt face-up. This is "Sixth Street" (fourth betting round).
7) The final card is dealt down. The last card is also known as the "River Card" or "Seventh Street" (final round of betting).
8) Upon completion of the final round of betting, the best hand wins the pot. The pot may also be won by someone who bets without being called at any time during the hand.
Note: Very seldom, a situation occurs where there are not enough cards left in the deck to give each player their own river card. In this event, the dealer will turn one board card face-up and it will be used as a community card.
The antes, bring-ins, and betting limits are determined by the size of the game (the bigger the game, the bigger the ante and bring-in).
Texas Hold'em
Hold'em poker, also known as Texas Hold'em, is the most popular poker game in the world. There are three types of Hold'em games:
Limit Holdem, in which a specific betting limit applies to each game
and on each round of betting.
Pot Limit Holdem, in which you can bet what is in the pot.
No Limit Holdem, in which you can bet all of your chips at any time.
The game
Players get 2 down cards and subsequently receive 5 community cards dealt face-up
in the middle of the table.
Your hand is determined by using the best five of those seven cards, in ANY COMBINATION and the best hand wins the pot. The pot may also be won by someone betting and no one calling prior to the completion of the hand.
The rounds
There are four rounds of betting in Hold'em. In Limit Hold'em, one bet and three
raises are allowed for each betting round. To continue to play, players must
act on each betting round and call all action to them (unless they are "all-in").
Betting always proceeds in a clockwise rotation.
1) Prior to dealing the cards, two blinds (the Small Blind and the Big Blind) are placed in the pot by the two players to the immediate left of the dealer (indicated by the red dealer "button"). The blinds are put in to start the action and are determined by the size of the game.
2) Everyone is dealt two down cards ("hole cards"). The action begins with the player to the left of the Big Blind folding, calling, or raising. Action continues with all players making one of these decisions. This is the first betting round.
3) Upon completion of the first round of betting, the dealer then turns over three cards (community cards known as "The Flop"). This is the second betting round. Beginning with this round of betting (and throughout the remainder of the hand), the player to the left of the button acts first. A player may now check (not bet or fold) or bet if there is no betting in front of them. If there is betting and/or raising in front of them, they may Call, Raise, or Fold.
4) Following the completion of action on the "flop", the dealer turns over another card (known as "The Turn" or "Fourth Street"). This is the third round of betting. (In Limit Hold'em, the amount bet doubles on "The Turn".) The betting again starts with the player closest to the left of the button.
5) Following the completion of action on "the turn", the dealer turns over the last card (known as "The River" card or "Fifth Street"). This is the final round of betting.
6) Upon completion of the final round of betting, the best hand wins the pot.
