STUD POKER.

This is a special form of Straight Poker. Its essential difference is that

one card only of each {135} hand is dealt face downwards, the remaining

four being dealt _face upwards_. Of course, the value of the hand depends

in great degree on the nature of the concealed card. The players, beginning

with the elder hand, make their stakes, raise, &c., as at the ordinary

game, till either all but one have passed out, or some player decides to

"see" his adversaries. The concealed cards are then turned up, and the

strongest hand takes the pool.
