I noticed they were spreading 5 Card Stud 32 cards at my local casino. They strip the 2s 3s 4s 5s and 6s. Anyone know this game? It's different from Mexican Poker, right?

It's called "Asian stud", and it's dealt like normal 5-stud. Usually, a flush beats a full house (the partial deck makes full houses more common than flushes), the high card starts the action on 2nd street, and A789T counts as a straight.

Weird, I've heard it called Spanish Stud (as the deck is often called a Spanish Deck, or sometimes an English Deck), but never Asian stud. Plus, If I'm running the numbers right, a flush is actually harder to get than four of a kind.

Mexican poker is also a 5-stud variant usually played with a partial deck, but they usually add a joker and remove the 8s, 9s, and 10s for a total of 41 cards (4567J, 567JQ, etc. count as straights). The unique thing about Mexican poker is that you have the option to expose your downcard after any betting round, and if you do then your next card is dealt face-down.

Huh. That's a stripped deck I'm not familiar with. And the mexican stud game I'm familiar with you get all your cards down, and flip one before each round of betting.
