This lively variation of five-card stud is sometimes called Flip, Pedro, or Peep-and-Turn. The betting is the same as in basic five-card stud except that all cards are dealt face down. After the first two cards are dealt, and then after each subsequent card is dealt, every player picks a single hole card and turns it face up. This option allows you to conceal or expose strategic cards at each stage of the game, in an attempt to keep your opponents guessing. Four-card straights and flushes are legal in this game, but a high pair will usually win. See also Rickey de Laet, and Shifting Sands.
