8-Card Stud [2-4-2]
There are many variations of 8-Card Stud. The common feature is that each player winds up with four cards face down and four cards face up. In this version, two cards are dealt face down and four face up, then two more face down. There are six betting rounds, one after each of the face-up cards and one after each of the last two face-down cards. You may use any five of your eight cards in the showdown to form your highest poker hand. Three-of-a-kind is a strong hand, but look out for straights, flushes and full houses!

8-Card Stud [3-4-1]
There are many variations of 8-Card Stud. The common feature is that each player winds up with four cards face down and four cards face up. In this version, three cards are dealt face down and four face up, then one more face down. There are five betting rounds, one after each of the face-up cards and one after the last face-down card. You may use any five of your eight cards in the showdown to form your highest poker hand. Three-of-a-kind is a strong hand, but look out for straights, flushes and full houses!

8-Card Stud [4-4]
There are many variations of 8-Card Stud. The common feature is that each player winds up with four cards face down and four cards face up. In this version, four cards are dealt face down and four face up. There are only four betting rounds, one after each of the face-up cards. You may use any five of your eight cards in the showdown to form your highest poker hand. Three-of-a-kind is a strong hand, but look out for straights, flushes and full houses!

8-Card Stud for Low
There are many variations of 8-Card Stud, but this one is played for low hands only. Two cards are dealt face down and four face up, then two more face down. There are six betting rounds, one after each of the face-up cards and one after each of the last two face-down cards. You may use any five of your eight cards in the showdown to form your lowest poker hand. With so many cards, you'll probably need a seven-high (or lower) with no pairs to win the pot.

Black Mariah
Black Mariah is dealt just like regular 7-card stud. However, in order to win, a player MUST have TWO of the following three things: best hand, high spade in the hole, low spade in the hole. If no player has this at the showdown, the game is redealt with all players still in throwing in another ante (once you fold in this game, you're out for it's duration.
ALSO: if the queen of spades is dealt up at any time, the game is immediately redealt with all players still in throwing in another ante. Strategy tips: if you don't have a good hand but do have the high or low spade in the hole, you should stay in as there is a good chance that you'll stop another player frow winning (which of course, results in a redeal), likewise if you have a powerful hand but no spades.
And if you the ace and deuce of spades in the hole, BET LIKE HEll!!!

Straight Poker
This is the simplest form of poker, and probably the most ancient. Five cards are dealt face down to each player. There is one betting round, after which the highest poker hand takes the pot. A pair will usually win.
