Stud Poker

Auction Stud Poker

These are the Auction Stud Poker rules.  Auction Stud Poker is a poker game rule variation in which each up card poker betting round (or possibly just those after the first card) begins with an auction phase.  Instead of dealing each poker player one up card as in normal stud poker rules, the first card in Auction Poker is dealt to the center and all players bid on it.  The Auction Stud Poker player who bids the highest amount places that amount into the pot, and then has the right to either keep the auction card as his own up card, or designate another poker player who is required to take it as his.

With Auction Poker rules, after the first card is auctioned off and placed, the remaining poker players are dealt a random up card as in usual stud poker rules, and poker betting proceeds as usual.  Auction Stud Poker is commonly played as high-low split, so it is common for an Auction Poker player to purchase a high card to force it upon an opponent seeking low.

Auction Stud Poker can be a fun game for home poker games.
