Gritty Gambler’s Mississippi Stud Poker Strategy for Optimal Results.

Last we met, we were discussing a relatively new live and online casino game known as Mississippi Stud Poker. First introduced in 2009 by Shuffle Master, it’s a game you’ll find at casinos far and wide. However, it is a game that tends to attract card players with a passion for high payout potential.

Mississippi Stud Poker Strategy for Optimal Results

As you know, this game requires players to start with an Ante bet. They must then continue betting anywhere from 1x to 3x the Ante two more times before it’s over. This means that, in order to see a complete hand, you’re going to have to risk no less than 3 betting units. Sounds scary, I know. But let’s also note that once you have a winning hand, every wager made thereafter is just gravy in your pocket. (Metaphorically of course, that would just be gross!) And if things get too scary, you can always Fold. You’ll lose all your current bets, but conserve the rest of your bankroll for future (and hopefully more profitable) hands.

The good news here is that you won’t have to put too much mental strain into your decision making. I’ve provided a complete chart that tells you how to react (bet or fold) in every possible situation; street by street. For reference:

High Card = Jack thru Ace
Mid Card = 6 thru 10
Low Card = 2 thru 5
