Name of the Game: 5-Card Stud Hi Lo
Deal: 5 card deal (1 down, 4 up)
Draws: 0 draws
Wild Cards: None
Rules: An excellent variation of the classic 5-Card Stud game. In this version the game is a slipt pot, with a high poker hand winning 50% of the pot and a lowball hand winning the other 50% of the pot.
Just like 5-Card Stud, the initial deal will be 1 face down card and then one face up card to each player. The bets starts with the player to the left of the dealer and goes around the table. The dealer will then deal another face up card, followed by another betting around. This is followed by two more rounds of 1 face up card deals each with a betting around. In the showdown, the players must first declare whether they are going for a hi or lo hand. To do this, each player will take a coin (or chip) and secretly put it (or not) in their hand. When everyone is ready, they open their hands and everyone with one coin is playing for a high poker hand and everyone with no coin is playing for a low poker hand.
