How to Play Mississippi Stud?

#1: Place Ante Bet – Players start the game by making an Ante bet.  It’s important to have at least four times the Ante to be able to play the hand to completion. Players that do not will be unable to finish the hand and will be forced to fold.
#2: Two Cards Dealt – Players start with two cards dealt.  Three cards are placed face down in the center.  These are community cards used by all players at the table.  The dealer does not have any cards as the payouts are based solely on the rank of the hand made by the players.
#3: Bet or Fold – The player looks at the first two cards and determines whether to make a bet or fold.  The first community card is exposed.  Players must either make a bet or fold.  After this, the second community card is exposed. Players must again either make a bet or fold.  The last community card is then shown.

 

All of these wagers are equal to the Ante or three times it. In general, three times bets are reserved for those that have already one or have the potential to make a royal or straight flush.

Mississippi Stud Strategy

Players should raise three times on the first betting round with any pair.  This goes to just one time if a player holds a card jack or higher or two cards six or higher.  Any other hand should be folded.

After the first community card is exposed, players should raise three times with a pair of 6’s or better or three straight flush cards that connect, have one gap and a card jack or higher or have two gaps and two cards jack or higher.  A one-time raise should be made on any three suited cards, a pair of 2’s through 5’s, and any open-ended straight draw.  A one-gap straight draw with at least two cards six and higher should also be made. Any other hand should be folded.

Players should raise three times on the Fifth Street bet if holding a pair of 6’s or higher, four suited cards and four to an open ended straight at least eight-high.  Raise one time on any straight draw, pair of 2’s through 5’s, four cards six and higher or two jacks and higher as well as any busted straight hand with at least three cards six and higher.
