American casino guide in this video Michael Shackleford who is also known as
The Wizard of odds
and the author of gambling 102 explains all about mississippi Stud
he tells you how the game is played the various bets you can make
the casino advantage on those bets and the best strategy for playing the game
and now here's michael Shackleford let's talk about mississippi Stud
this is another popular poker base game unlike some other games that talked
about this is a game
where the player wins based only on his own cards there's no dealer hand
the game starts out where the player makes
an ante wager the deal is going to give the player
two cards and three community cards face down
when after the player sees as a first two cards
he may either make a
raise bet a pic one to three times as anti that
or he may fall after this decision has been made the deal was gonna turn over
the first three community cards
again the player can either raise one to three times as ante that
or you can fold than that it was gonna turn over the second community card yet
again the player can
raise one to three times and he that or he may fall
finally the deal is going to turn over the fifth community card
and pay the player according to the poker value of his hand
according to a post up a table on the table
that's all there is to it there's some
no side bets to the game and the strategy
is not too complicated next let's talk about the strategy from mississippi Stud
there is a different strategy for all three decision points
and I'm only gonna talk about the first decision point because the second to
our little bit too long and technical to explain in this video
after the player sees his first two cards and before any community cards are
turned over
the player should make the big raise three times and tibet
with any pair the player should make the small raise
equal to his auntie wager if the player has
any hi karte very high card is defined as a jacker higher
the player should make the small raise
want equal to his auntie bet if the player has to medium cards
median card being defined as a six through eight ten
the player should finally make the small raise
people to use anti that if he has a 65 suited
if the player doesn't have any of those things then he should fall
the good thing about mississippi Stud
is the player has three chances to raise
with good cards the bad thing about it is the player is forced
to making a razor for decision there's no checking
so sometimes if the player has a bad hand but not a terrible
and he's mathematically speaking he's making bad race bets because it's at
least better than folding
so oftentimes the player gets kinda sucked into the game with mediocre hands
and then ends up losing the experience in this game
is you have a lot a las is that are offset by the occasional
big win mathematically speaking
assuming optimal strategy the house and manage in mississippi Stud
is 4.91 percent the original anti wager
that means that for every dollar the player bets on the anti he can expect to
lose
4.91 cents for the
strategy for the second and third decision points
