There are many variations of 8-Card Stud. The common feature is that each player winds up with four cards face down and four cards face up. In this version, three cards are dealt face down and four face up, then one more face down. There are five betting rounds, one after each of the face-up cards and one after the last face-down card. You may use any five of your eight cards in the showdown to form your highest poker hand. Three-of-a-kind is a strong hand, but look out for straights, flushes and full houses!
