Soko
5-STUD VARIANTS

Rules

Soko is played exactly like 5 card stud, except a 4 flush and a 4 straight counts as a hand. In other words, a hand such as 4567Q is not queen high, but is a 4 straight. A 4 straight and a 4 flush beat a pair, but lose to a two pair or better (4 flushes beat 4 straights). So the new rank of hands would be:

Straight flush
Four of a kind
Full house
Flush
Straight
Three of a kind
Two pair
Four flush
Four Straight
Pair
High card
