Low content: 5-card stud rarity

[Alchemist]

I happened to catch this hand while eavesdropping on the 5-card stud game on Paradise. (I'm somewhat amazed that somebody is always playing this. It's got to have an even bigger luck factor than 7-stud).

5 Card Stud High ($1/$2), Ante $0.50, Bring-In $0.50 (converter)

Odds of hitting a SF in 5 cards are about 72,200:1. And I have a hard enough time making a low hand in 7-stud [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Wow.

But I'd kinda hate making this hand at 5-card stud. I'd really like two more streets to collect. Or, even better, have someone "draw out" with a boat. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i play this game from time to time when i need want an extra table of something up. It is very juicy. people play anything and chase till the end. you pretty much need to just wait for a pair and collect.
