What distinguishes stud poker from Texas Hold Em?

[Julio88]

Stud poker is a type of poker game where players receive a combination of face-down and face-up cards, with the hand being developed by betting rounds between each card being dealt. Traditional Texas Hold'em, on the other hand, is a community card game where players are dealt two face-down cards and then share five community cards face-up on the table. Players make their hand using their two private cards and any combination of the five community cards.

Additionally, in stud poker, there is typically no limit to the number of raise bets a player can make, whereas in Texas Hold'em, there are typically specific betting limits. In stud poker, the first player to act is often the one with the lowest exposed card, and the game continues clockwise from there. In Texas Hold'em, the game typically starts with the player to the left of the dealer and continues clockwise from there.

Another difference is that in stud poker, there is often a "bring-in" bet, which is a mandatory bet made by the player with the lowest exposed card. This initiates the first round of betting. In Texas Hold'em, however, there is no mandatory bet, and the first round of betting typically begins with the player to the left of the dealer.

Overall, the main differences between stud poker and Texas Hold'em are the way the cards are dealt and the betting structures. Stud poker is a more traditional form of poker, while Texas Hold'em has become one of the most popular forms of poker in recent years.

When playing stud poker, bets are often placed in a fixed-limit or spread-limit structure, with predetermined limits for each round. The most typical betting structure in Texas Hold'em is no-limit, which allows players to wager any quantity of chips they have in front of them at any point throughout the hand.

In Stud Poker, each player is dealt a certain number of cards face down (hole cards) and a certain number of cards face up (up cards). The number of hole cards and up cards can vary depending on the specific variant of Stud Poker. In Texas Hold ‘Em, each player is dealt two hole cards face down and five community cards face up.
