How Mississippi Stud is Played Like Texas Hold’em, the game begins with each player being dealt two cards face down, precluded by an ante bet. The dealer then places three community cards face down on the table, and players must decide to make a 3rd street bet between 1x and 3x the ante or fold. Various forms of roll your own five-card stud, often with a stripped deck and wild cards, are called Mexican stud, Mexican poker, or stud loco. One such variant played by the Casino San Pablo in northern California has these rules: 8 s, 9 s, and 10 s are stripped from the deck, and a single joker is added (the deck therefore contains 41 cards). Mississippi StudTM is a five-card poker game that lets players bet up to 10 units on a single hand. In Mississippi Stud, players compete against a paytable, not against the dealer, and you win if their hand is a pair of Jacks or better (pairs of 6s-10s push). The top payout is 500 to 1 for a Royal Flush-and it pays on all bets! So if you start with a $5 ante on Mississippi Stud, you have an average total bet of $17.95 and an average loss of 24.6 cents. Depending on the other rules of your game, it might swing the.

In hold'em, players receive two down cards as their personal hand (holecards), after which there is a round of betting. Three board cards are turned simultaneously (called the flop) and another round of betting occurs. The next two board cards are turned one at a time, with a round of betting after each card. The board cards are community cards, and a player can use any five-card combination from among the board and personal cards. A player can even use all of the board cards and no personal cards to form a hand ('play the board'). A dealer button is used. The usual structure is to use two blinds, but it is possible to play the game with one blind, multiple blinds, an ante, or combination of blinds plus an ante.

Mississippi Stud Rules And Payouts

Rounds of Betting
  • Opening deal- Each player is dealt two cards face down, which are known as hole cards or pocket cards.

  • First round of betting- Starting with the player to the left of the big blind, each player can call the big blind, raise, or fold. The big blind has the option to raise an otherwise unraised pot.
  • The flop- The dealer burns a card, and then deals three community cards face up. The first three cards are referred to as the flop, while all of the community cards are collectively called the board.

  • Second round of betting- Starting with the player to the left of the dealer button, each player can check or bet. Once a bet has been made, each player can raise, call, or fold.
  • The turn- The dealer burns another card, and then adds a fourth card face-up to the community cards. This fourth card is known as the turn card, or fourth street.
  • The Turn

  • Third round of betting- It follows the same format as the second round, but the size of the bets have usually doubled in limit games.
  • The river- The dealer burns another card, and then adds a fifth and final card to the community cards. This fifth card is known as the river card, or fifth street.
  • Flop
    The River

  • Final round of betting- It follows the same format as the second and third rounds.
  • The showdown- Using the best five-card combination of their hole cards and the community cards, the remaining players show their hands, with the bettor or last raiser showing first. The highest five-card hand wins the pot. (In case of a tie, the pot is evenly split among the winning hands.)

    These rules deal only with irregularities. SeeButton and Blinduse for rules on that subject.
  • If the first or second hole card dealt is exposed, a misdeal results. The dealer retrieves the card, reshuffles, and recuts the cards. If any other holecard is exposed due to a dealer error, the deal continues. The exposed card can not be kept. After completing the hand, the dealer replaces the card with the top card on the deck, and the exposed card is then used for the burncard. If more than one hole card is exposed, this is a misdeal and there must be a redeal.
  • If the flop contains too many cards, it must be redealt. (This applies even if it is possible to know which card is the extra one.)
  • If the flop needs to be redealt because the cards were prematurely flopped before the betting was complete, or the flop contained too many cards, the board cards are mixed with the remainder of the deck. The burn card remains on the table. After shuffling, the dealer cuts the deck and deals a new flop without burning a card.
    See Explanations,discussion #2, for more information on this rule.
  • If the dealer turns the fourth card on the board before the betting round is complete, the card is taken out of play for that round, even if subsequent players elect to fold. The betting is then completed. The dealer burns and turns what would have been the fifth card in the fourth card's place. After this round of betting, the dealer reshuffles the deck, including the card that was taken out of play, but not including the burn cards or discards. The dealer then cuts the deck and turns the final card without burning a card. If the fifth card is turned up prematurely, the deck is reshuffled and dealt in the same manner.
    See Explanations,discussion #2, for more information on this rule.
  • If the dealer mistakenly deals the first player an extra card (after all players have received their starting hands), the card is returned to the deck and used for the burn card. If the dealer mistakenly deals more than one extra card, it is a misdeal.
  • If you are playing the board, you must so declare before you throw your cards away; otherwise you relinquish all claim to the pot.

How to Play Mississippi Stud Poker

By Henry Tamburin


Mississippi Stud Poker is a popular table game, especially in casinos in the South. The rules of the game are simple, which is one reason for its popularity. However, there is an element of skill in deciding whether to raise or fold your hand.

The game begins with all players making an Ante wager. The dealer will give each player two cards face down and then place three community cards face down on the layout. Each player will make a five card poker hand consisting of his or her two cards and the three community cards. Thus, you are not playing against other players; you are just trying to make one of the poker hands listed in the payoff table for the game (see pay table below).
After the Ante wager is made and the cards are dealt, each player looks at his or her two cards and then determines whether to fold or make a “Third Street” wager. The latter can be 1x, 2x, or 3x the amount of your Ante wager. If you decide to fold, you lose your Ante wager. If you decide to stay in the game, you make a wager (either 1x, 2x, or 3x your Ante wager) by placing the appropriate amount of chips in the Third Street betting spot. After all the players have decided to fold or stay in the game, the dealer will turn over the first community card.

The above process is repeated again for the Fourth Street and then the Fifth Street (and last) community card (i.e., you can fold at any time and forfeit the wagers you made or bet 1x, 2x, or 3xs your Ante wager prior to the dealer revealing the fourth and then fifth community cards).

After all the community cards are revealed, a player will receive a payout based on his or her five-card poker hand (consisting of the initial two player cards and the three community cards) according to the following pay table. (Note: You need at least a pair of 6s or higher poker hand to receive a payout with Mississippi Stud Poker.)

There is an optimum playing strategy for Mississippi Stud Poker based on a mathematical analysis of the game. You’ll find this optimum strategy on the Mississippi Stud page at www.wizardofoods.com, or in the set of poker-based strategy cards by James Grosjean.

Here are some strategy tips to keep in mind:

  1. You should never bet 2x the Ante. Either wager 1x or 3xs depending on the strength or weakness of your hand.
  2. Once you have a pair of 6s or better, always bet 3x the Ante on all remaining bets.
  3. Follow the playing strategy in either of the two references above for all hands. The Grosjean strategy cards contain a small and slightly larger strategy card for Mississippi Stud that you can take with you when you play. (That way, you’ll always be making the correct play.)
  4. The playing strategy is simple for Third Street but becomes more complex for Fourth and Fifth Streets.
  5. You can practice playing Mississippi Stud Poker on your home PC by going to this site http://imadegen.com/mississippi_stud/index.html. (This simulator can also alert you if you make a playing strategy mistake.)

Even learning the above optimum playing strategy for the game, the house edge is still
steep: 4.9%, meaning in the long run you can expect to lose about $15 per hour betting $10 on the Ante. (If you play by the seat of your pants, you can expect to lose a lot more money.)
