The 'Across' hand is the five-card poker hand consisting of the cards when making this wagering decision. The player is simultaneously playing two five-card stud hands: To understand how CCP plays, consider the following picture. Of course, CCP is not MS, so there must also be some differences.

The hand pushes with a pair of 6’s through T’s and pays for a pair of J’s or better. Each round, the player must either fold, raise 1 or raise 3. The player competes against a pay table, not against the dealer. As I will show, the player can get up to a 49.37% edge over the house seeing just one hole-card. Because CCP plays a lot like Mississippi Stud (MS), I thought that CCP might have very significant hole-card issues. Now that CCP is getting a few placements, I decided to do the analysis. In recent months I’ve been contacted by a few people who have asked me to take a look at hole-carding CCP. Like all poker clones, CCP faces a very tough road towards success. Criss Cross Poker (CCP) is yet another stud poker clone.
