Soko Poker also known as Canadian Stud or Scandinavian Stud poker, represents the variation of the Five Cards Stud poker. The major difference between Five Cards Stud and Soko Poker is the present of the two hands that are not found in traditional poker game – “Four Card Flush” and “Four Card Straight”.

Soko Poker Rules

General Info:

Number of players: From 2 to max 8 players.
Deck: Normal deck - 52 cards.
Dealer: Cards are dealt clockwise starting with the first active player after the dealer box.
Ante: Before the cards are dealt, each player must place the ante ("forced bet").

Game Play

Each player receives two cards – one dealt face down (“hole card” – which can not be seen by other players) and one face up. The player showing the highest card must make “bring-in” (forced bet) which usually amounts two times ante or he can make a higher bet (if the limits allow it). Note that ties in card rank are broken by suit in the following descending order - spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. After the initial bring-in, the action continues clockwise until betting is completed for the round. Second betting round starts after dealing an open card to each of remaining player and betting action starts again with the player who has the highest visible card. This is repeated two more times (two more cards dealt and two more betting rounds in-between). After the fifth card is dealt to each remaining player and fourth betting round is finished – it is time for the showdown. If there was betting on fifth street the player who made the last bet or raise must show his hand first, otherwise the player showing the highest hand on the board shows his hand first. The best 5 card hand wins the pot. If two or more players show the same hand they split the pot.
