FIVE CARD STUD:

5-card Stud - another variation on poker.  This is played much like 7-card stud only with 5-cards.  The initial deal can vary in this game and depends on how your group wants to play.  5 card stud is usually dealt either 2 down, 3 up, or 1 down, 4 up, or 1 down, 3 up, 1 down.  Once again it is played exactly like 7-card stud with betting rounds held when each new card is put down.  Variations can be the use of wild cards and the rank of hands are the standard one in poker.
