Mexican Stud? How's That Go?

[Al Mirpuri]

There are any number of games masquerading under the nom de guerre of Mexican Stud or Mexican Poker. Some are played with stripped decks and the Bug (with or without special rules concerning the Bug) and some without the Bug. Ther are even two types of stripped deck: one lacking all 2s, 3, 4s, 5s and 6s and the other lacking 8s, 9s and Ts. Some are played with a normal 52 card deck and the Bug and some without the Bug (with or without special rules concerning the Bug).
