Five Card Stud, the ancestor of all modern variants of poker, used to enjoy a great deal of popularity, but now Texas Hold’em has occupied its place in the hearts of millions of poker players worldwide.

Players also prefer Five Card Stud to other poker variants because it has easy-to-understand rules and moves at a rapid pace.

Beginners can learn to play Five Card Stud in 7 easy steps, as follows:

1. Place the Ante
   The ante amount should be determined well in advance of the game. Once this is done, the cards are well-shuffled and a face-down card and a face-up card are dealt to each player, starting from the player seated to the left of the dealer.
2. Place the Bring-in
   The “bring-in” is a forced bet, which the player with the weakest face-up card is made to place. There are two ways to do this:
   • The player with the weakest face-up card places a small bet, which is called the bring-in.
   • Second, no player is forced to place a bet, and the player with the strongest face-up card places a bet. In case two players have the same card, the player who is closest to the deal will have to place the bet.

   The game then moves on to several phases, called streets. Whenever a fresh card is dealt to players, it is called street.

3. Third Street
   The players receive a third card face up, during the phase of the game called Third Street, followed by a betting round initiated by the player who has the strongest face-up card. The betting then moves in a clockwise fashion till all players have made their move.
4. Fourth Street
   Players now receive a fourth card face up, and the maximum bet is now placed by each player who has not yet folded.

Acey Deucey, also known as Yablon,^[1]In-Between, Sheets, Between the Sheets or Maverick, is a simple card game that involves betting.

Rules[edit]

Before the action, each player must add their ante into the pot. Two cards are then dealt face-up to one player. That player then bets from nothing to the amount that is in the pot at the time whether or not the third card will numerically fall in between the first two. If the third card falls in between the two other cards, the bettor takes the amount he bet out of the pot; if the third card falls outside of the two other cards, the bettor must add what he bet to the pot; and if the third card matches the numerical value of one of the other two cards, the bettor must add to the pot double what they bet. If two cards of the same value come up, e.g. 2,2 the bettor picks if the next card will be higher or lower and bets. If the next card is the same as the last two, i.e. a 2, the bettor must triple their bet.

Regionally specific rules[edit]

The rules and specifics of the game often vary from region to region. For example in Liaoning province, northeast China the minimum number of players is 4 and each player is required to ante before the first card is turned. Two cards are then dealt face-up to one player. That player then bets from nothing to the amount that is in the pot at the time (during the first time around the table players are only allowed to bet up to half of the pot) whether or not the third card will numerically fall in between the first two. Other regions, such as in the United States, play the game by combining two decks of cards. This adds another dynamic to the game due to the extra number of similar type cards. Beyond that, most of the other rules followed by United States players are similar to those which are observed in the Liaoning province.

Just about all regions play if the third card falls in between the two other cards, the bettor takes the amount he bet out of the pot; if the third card falls outside of the two other cards, the bettor must add what he bet to the pot; and if the third card matches the numerical value of one of the other two cards, this is referred to as a 'Post' and the bettor must add to the pot double his initial bet. If two cards of the same value come up, e.g. 2,2 the bettor picks if the next card will be higher or lower and bets. If the next card is the same as the last two, i.e. a 2, this is considered a 'Post' and the player is required to pay triple the bet for the hand.

Aces[edit]

In addition to this, there is a special rule for Aces. If the first card turned is an Ace the player may choose its value as either the high Ace or the low one. Low Ace is always lower than any other card, including the deuce. If an Ace comes up as the second card turned it is always considered the high Ace. If a player 'Posts' on an Ace they are required to pay four times their bet for that hand. Aces also cause an automatic loss if it is the third card turned when the first two cards are a match, e.g. 6,6. The best spread in the game is considered to be a low Ace on the left and a high Ace on the right. This is also one of the worst hands to get as you run the risk of the third card being an Ace and having to pay four times your bet for the hand.

Variations[edit]

A variation is to split the cards if two end cards are the same value. This requires the bettor to ante in for two hands and the dealer would draw one more card under each of the end cards. After this, the same rules apply.

Some new rules that increase payouts and betting:

• Blind Pot - Bet the pot before your 2 outside cards are placed. In the case of a win, you win the pot. If you are outside of your cards you lose half the pot. If you post you have to pay the full amount of the pot.
• 'AutoPot' - Any A-2 played as your outside cards automatically make the player bet the full amount of the pot.
• Post Bet - You can bet that your inside card will match one of your outside cards. In the case of this you win the full pot and in addition each player pays an equal percentage to match the pot. Therefore, the player that post would win 2x the pot. If the player bets the post and misses he owes half the amount of the pot to the pot.
• Satan 6s - Any player that gets 6-6-6 as their cards must pay 6x the amount of the pot to the pot.

In popular culture[edit]

The game show Card Sharks is based on Acey Deucey and closely resembles the rules.^{[citation needed]} In the show, two players answer high-low survey questions, and guess whether the next card is higher or lower (with duplicates counting as wrong).

Acey-ducey is often mentioned in the book series The Corps by W.E.B. Griffin which is set in the Pacific Theater of World War II, and follows the lives of a group of marines in special service. Griffin never explains the game in the slightest, but his characters are often playing it when they are interrupted by the war, i.e. required to stop playing to perform some duty.

In 1978 a type-in programBASICvideo game version was distributed via the book BASIC Computer Games.^[2]

An unsold 1985 game show pilot hosted by Jim McKrell, entitled Split Decision, had contestants playing the game Acey Deucey while answering general knowledge questions. Each player picked a card to share and had their own base card, and tried to fit a card in or bust the other player.

The game is also frequently mentioned on Barstool Sports' Spittin’ Chiclets podcast, hosted Ryan Whitney, Rear Admiral, and Paul Bissonnette. According to Whitney and Bissonnette, both former NHL players, the game is regularly played on team flights and bus rides.
