We dealt our two down cards and we are half way through our up cards in this hand of baseball. What happens next? Well baseball is a stud poker variant which means we deal it like regular stud. So we continue with the up cards and now here this person is working on king queen six not terribly strong from what we can see in the up cards. We have queen eights six, and the next player queen eight deuce and then our person who had the pair of sevens coming into the hand because nine are wild, it catches a three. At this point because nines and threes are wild they have three sevens showing. In addition looking at their whole cards they have an ace so if I'm playing this hand at this moment I have three aces and with the naturals playing I'm actually drawing three to a flush. And I have four to a straight so there is a lot of power with this hand at this time thanks to my two wild cards. Now for hypothetical purposes we're going to say that my opponents in this hand who clearly are not strong as me and can't see what they seem they go ahead and call in anyway cause it's a hypothetical hand.
