NAME

Poker::Game::Stud - Base class for stud-style games

VERSION

Version 0.12

DESCRIPTION

Stud games have no community board. Each player is dealt their own cards across streets. Final hand size defaults to 7 (seven-card stud); best five are scored via the eval engine.

Street helpers enforce typical seven-card stud structure:

third_street  -- deal 3 (start)
fourth_street -- deal 1 (hand size 4)
fifth_street  -- deal 1 (hand size 5)
sixth_street  -- deal 1 (hand size 6)
seventh_street / river -- deal 1 (hand size 7)

deal_to

$game->deal_to($hand, 3);
$game->deal_to($hand, 1, ['As']);

Append cards to an existing hand.

third_street

Deal the first three cards to an empty hand.

fourth_street / fifth_street / sixth_street / seventh_street

Deal one additional card at each street.

deal_hole

For stud, deal_hole starts an empty hand and deals third street (3 cards), or accepts a specific list of up to 7 cards.
