Dear Mark:
I noticed that the last time I visited the Gulf Coast that your column appears in the Biloxi Sun Herald. Here's one for you. Have you ever heard of a game called Mississippi Stud? Greg M.

Heard of it, yes, played it, no.

Mississippi Stud is but another poker variant in which each player receives a mix of face-down and face-up cards dealt in multiple betting rounds. A form of seven-card stud, Mississippi Stud is generally played pot limit, with fourth and fifth street cards dealt without a betting round between them, and seventh-street dealt face up.

ShuffleMaster has their own table game version of Mississippi Stud where players compete against a paytable rather than against other players or a dealer, and win if their hands consist of a pair of 6s or better.

Although I haven't seen this table game version, I hope those who have will drop me a line and share their thoughts on the game so I can pass them along to Greg.

Dear Mark:
At our weekly Texas Hold'em game, we had a disagreement over a player who accidentally showed his cards before the betting rounds were complete. The debate was over whether that player'ms hand was automatically dead. Yeah or nay please. We will stand by your decision. Dan M.

In Texas Hold'em, Dan, an exposed card or hand by any player would still be considered a live hand, not a dead one.
