The game we're looking at right now the good bad and ugly, is a poker variant in the classification stud. What's a stud game? Well let's look real quickly on how studs are played just to make sure we understand. Two cards are dealt face down, everybody at the table and then one card face up at this time the person with the lowest hand is forced to bet and there are people at the rest of the table choose rather if they call, raise or fold. Then we get another card face up. At this point the high hand bets and there is betting in folding we know about that in poker. Another card comes face up high hand bets again calling and folding so forth, raising and then another up card. There's betting and more down card again a final round of betting then everyone takes their 7 cards and makes their best 5 card hand. We'll give an example here even though I have 3 clubs showing I don't have any clubs in my pocket, I do have a pair of aces with a king kicker, the jack is going to play and the 8 plays. The best 5 card hand a pair of aces everybody makes their 5 card and anyone who has the highest 5 card hand wins the pot.
