Stud Poker is a form of poker in which each player is dealt five cards, one at a time. The first one is dealt face down, while the next four are dealt face up. After each round of face-up cards is dealt, the players place their bets. A player may bet or drop out of a hand (fold) whenever it is his or her turn. After all players receive their final cards and the betting sequence is completed, the computer automatically determines the winning hand and awards the pot to the winner.

====Game Rules====
Each player tries to beat the dealer, the Home Computer, by getting a hand of cards that has a total value closer to 21 than the dealer's hand. If you get a face card jack, queen, or king} and an ace, you score "Blackjack" (21 points} and automatically win, unless the dealer also has Blackjack. If, in drawing additional cards, you get a hand with a total that exceeds 21, you "bust" and you lose your bet. A tie (including a Blackjack tie} between the dealer and any player results in a standoff, and no money is exchanged.
The game is played with a deck of 52 cards. The cards have numeric value only and are not ranked according to suit. Aces are worth 1 or 11 points, while face cards are worth 10. All other cards are worth the number shown on the card.
