Mississippi Stud



Mississippi Stud is a fairly new five card poker game that lets players put it all on the line by betting up to 10 units on a single line.

To play players make an ante bet to receive their first two cards.  The dealer will place 3 community cards face down in the middle of the layout

Once they receive their cards, players may either fold or make the 3rd Street bet of one to three times their ante.  The dealer then will reveal the first community card, and players may either fold or make the 4th Street bet of one to three times their ante.  The dealer will then reveal their second community card, and players can fold or stay in the game by making the 5th Street bet from one to three times their ante.

After the dealer turns over the final community card, he/she resolves all bets left in action.  Players win their five-card hand that contains a pair of 6's or better.



Now when you first look at this game it can be a little intimidating but I assure you that it is not as hard as it looks.  It does help to have a basic understanding of hand rankings in poker because if you don't you may have a slight problem following the game.

Whenever you go to a casino the Mississippi Stud tables are rarely unoccupied.  This game is extremely popular! When I first played this game I did terrible! I turned around and played it again in Vegas and was able to turn a $200 investment into $2,600.  I played heads up with the dealer for two hours.  There are many people that believe that it is taboo to play heads up with the dealer on certain games.  I personally feel that when playing Mississippi Stud your odds might just be a little better playing heads up with the dealer.  Here are the pay table odds.  Good Luck!

Royal Flush            500 to 1
Straight Flush         100 to 1
Four of a Kind         90 to 1
Full House               10 to 1
Flush                          6 to 1
Straight                      4 to 1
Three of a Kind          3 to 1
2 Pairs                        2 to 1
Pair of J's or better      1 to 1
Pair of 6's - 10's          Push
Everything else is a loss
