We're discussing sequence and as with any stud poker game that uses wild cards but just enough bring out the skill factor we need to discuss how to play early in the hand. Let's do that. Let's deal our down cards and then one up card to everybody and we see there is not a lot going on here. As a matter of fact, no deuces came out so nothing is wild at this time and the three is forced to do the bring in bet. They have an ace and a eight of diamonds in the hole and what's interesting that at this time statistically there is a decent chance that three's will be wild later in this hand. So they definitely want to stay in even if someone raises to the minimum bet after the bring in. But and this is a big but what's important is that with wild cards coming no one needs to be raising at this time. Unless they had a situation where they had an ace up and everybody else at the table had mid cards, say it was an ace verses three sevens. Then you can bet and seal the pot as your opponents fold other than that play carefully early on in the game of sequence.
