How Pinion Stud plays
- Choose your ante and press Deal. Your two cards are dealt face up from one shuffled pack, and three shared cards wait face down.
- Before each shared card is turned, fold or raise. A raise is one or three times your ante. Folding ends the hand and everything staked so far is lost.
- After the third shared card your two cards and the three shared cards make one five-card hand, paid on the table below.
- A win pays the multiple on everything you staked: the ante and every raise. A pair of sixes to tens gives everything back. A lower pair or no pair loses everything staked.
- The advised move looks at every card still to come and picks the raise that brings back the most on average.
What comes back
| Five-card hand | Pays |
|---|---|
| Royal flush | 500 to 1 |
| Straight flush | 100 to 1 |
| Four of a kind | 40 to 1 |
| Full house | 10 to 1 |
| Flush | 6 to 1 |
| Straight | 4 to 1 |
| Three of a kind | 3 to 1 |
| Two pairs | 2 to 1 |
| Pair of jacks or better | 1 to 1 |
| Pair of sixes to tens | Stakes back |
| A lower pair, or no pair | Lost |
Example: an ante of 20, raised 3×, 1× and 3×, puts 160 in play. A flush pays 6 to 1: 960 winnings plus the 160 back.
Good to know
Raising three times on every card makes the swings much bigger. The advised move often folds early on weak cards, and that is part of playing well here.
Sheen is a play unit with no cash value. It cannot be bought, swapped or turned into anything. If it runs below 200, Preen tops it up to 4,000 for free, with no wait. Results here say nothing about how you would do at real-money gambling, and they are not a reason to try it.
