A basic strategy for Cyberstud Poker is:
- You should fold if your hand holds less than and Ace-King
- You should raise if you hold a pair or higher
- You should raise if your hand has an Ace-King and if one of your other cards matches the dealers
- You should raise if you hold Ace-King and of the three remaining cards one card is Jack or better, one card is 8 or better and one card is 3 or better. Do not average the value of the cards, the cards must meet the values on their own.
