  2. In Mississippi Stud Poker, you can measure this in two ways – the overall edge for the house is 4.91%, but that doesn’t account for the amount of money that’s in action on average (It assumes that you never place a raise). When and if you place raises, the house edge on the total amount of money you have in action drops to 1.37%.

Win the pot by making the best five-card hand possible using a combination of personal and community cards. The game is played by either betting or folding each time a new card is revealed.

1. The game begins with each player placing an Ante bet to build up the pot.

2. Once Antes are placed, the dealer gives each player two cards face down and places three cards in a community pile.

3. The “Third Street” (first betting round) begins. In this and all following rounds of betting, players have two options:

  • Make a bet of 1 to 3x the Ante

4. After bets have been placed, the dealer turns over the first community card. This leads to the “Fourth Street” betting round.

5. After bets have been placed, the dealer turns over the second community card. This leads to the “Fifth Street” betting round.

6. Following the “Fifth Street,” the final community card is turned over and bets are paid out according to the pay table.
