Stud Poker Rules

In Stud Poker, you will get five or seven cards. After viewing your cards, you can start waging the chips as per the strength of your hands. A player with the maximum bid wins the game unless another player is willing to compare the hands. In this case, the remaining two players can show their cards and the one with better hand wins all the chips.

Draw Poker Rules

In Draw Poker, You will get five cards as the game starts and betting takes place. The player who wishes to continue can improve their hands by trading their maximum of three cards from the new deck. If that player gets an Ace, he can change all four of the cards. The round of betting takes place from the left of the dealer. Each player has four options while betting: Raise, Fold, Call, and Check.

Let’s read what these terms mean:

●Raise: Player can increase the wage.
