description Five-Card Stud Overview
Five-Card Stud is a poker variant in which each player receives five cards, usually with one card dealt face down and the remaining cards exposed one at a time. Betting takes place between deals, and players must make decisions with substantial information about their opponents' visible cards. The game has no community cards and normally provides no opportunity to exchange cards, so the final hand depends on the original deal and subsequent betting decisions.
