Oxford Stud

Oxford Stud is a combination of Stud poker and community poker. As in a stud game, players receive individual hole and up-cards, but they also use community cards, like in a community poker game.

The game starts as Seven Card Stud: Players are dealt two hole cards and one up-card and the firs betting round occurs. After the first betting round, the game becomes community poker: Two community cards are dealt in the center of the table and the second betting round takes place. In the third round the games returns to Stud: Players receive another individual up-card and play another betting round. Finally, the last card dealt in the game is another community card, and the final betting round is played before the showdown.

A short resume of Oxford Stud is the following: Two individual hole cards + one individual up-card, betting round, two community cards, betting round, one individual up-card, betting round, one community card, betting round, showdown.

At the showdown each player has four individual cards (2 up and 2 down) and three community cards. Players form the best possible five card hand using any of the seven cards available to them.

As in most stud poker games, the player who opens betting in Oxford Stud is determined by the up-cards dealt do far. However, as far as Oxford Stud is also a community poker game, the hand that determines the first bettor is the combination of the individual up-cards of the player and community cards dealt do far. According to the standard Oxford Stud scheme, the player who has the lowest up-card in the first round, opens betting with a forced Bring-in. All subsequent betting rounds are opened by the player with the highest poker hand formed by the community cards and the up-cards of the player, and no forced bets are involved.

Oxford Stud is often played in High/Low split format.
