Players found the fact that draw poker was limited
to two rounds of betting restrictive. In addition, with
all cards concealed there was nothing to go on but probabilities
and the actions of other players. Thirdly, draw required
a high ante to make large pots and this proved unattractive
to players as it forced them to put down large amounts
of money before actually seeing any cards.
The antidote was provided in the form of five-card
stud.
Its four rounds of betting not only proved more exciting,
but made it possible to play with a much smaller ante.
Its four open cards offered information about opponents’
hands, as well as the chance to modify ones play as
further cards were dealt to each player.
For the experienced player, it dramatically increased
the games potential for excitement in the form of high
stakes.
