Mississippi Stud
A casino table game where players bet on their own two hole cards plus three community cards revealed one at a time, with no dealer hand to beat — just a fixed paytable.

Rules
Mississippi Stud deals two hole cards to each player, face down, after an initial ante. Three community-style cards are then revealed one at a time — after each one, every player independently decides to bet (1x to 3x the ante, depending on the stage) or fold, based only on their own hand and whichever community cards have been revealed so far.
There is no dealer hand to beat: at the end, each player's best five-card hand (their two hole cards plus the three revealed cards) is paid according to a fixed table, typically starting at a pair of jacks or better, with sixes through tens pushing (returned, no win or loss) and anything below that losing.
Strategy notes: Because betting happens progressively as each community card is revealed (rather than all at once), the game rewards folding early with weak starting hands and betting more aggressively as later cards improve a hand's realistic potential — a distinctly different rhythm from one-shot games like Three Card Poker.
Common house rules
No dealer hand, fixed paytable
As in Let It Ride, there's no dealer hand to beat here — every player is paid independently based on how their final five-card hand compares to the house paytable.
Bet sizing increases at each street
Standard structure allows a 1x-3x bet after the first community card, up to 2x after the second, and up to 1x after the third — confirm the exact multiples with your table or casino, since minor variations exist.
Sixes through tens push
A distinctive feature of the standard paytable: a pair of sixes through tens neither wins nor loses (a push), while jacks or better start paying — worth knowing since it's easy to assume any pair pays.
