Brief Tips: Five Card Stud Strategy

Mostly a game of high cards and pairs. Don't play for straights and flushes unless you have three cards to a straight flush on third street, or it looks like you might get a straight or flush on fourth. With only one down card, it is easier than most games to put your opponents on hands.

Pay close attention to how they each play. Don't start without either a pair or at least one live card that beats the board.
Fold if you do not have at least a pair in the first three cards.

Nearly always fold when you are beaten on the board and do not have a good draw to the best hand.
