===Telesina/Teresina=== Telesina,<ref>[http://www.pokerjunkie.com/poker-rules-rules-of-telesina Rules of Telesina]</ref> with origins in [[Sanremo]], is often described as a variant of five-card stud. The initial four rounds are identical to five-card stud, the players receiving two cards (one face down) and then 3 more face-up cards interspersed with betting rounds. However, a final round is added where all the players are dealt a single community card. The other main difference is the use of a [[stripped deck]] - with all cards of rank 2 to 6 inclusive taken out of the deck. As a result, this variant is often played shorthanded - usually with 6 players per table. As with most stripped deck games, in Telesina flushes are ranked above full-houses.<ref name="reviewed-pokertime">{{Cite web |url=http://www.reviewed-online-poker.com/game/telesina |title=Telesina Review :: Poker - by Reviewed Online Poker |access-date=August 10, 2006 |archive-date=February 19, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090219235308/http://www.reviewed-online-poker.com/game/telesina |url-status=usurped }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.compatiblepoker.com/telesina.cms.htm |title=Compatible Poker: Telesina Rules - 5-Stud Variation |access-date=December 2, 2006 |archive-date=October 3, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091003013853/http://www.compatiblepoker.com/telesina.cms.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> In addition, unlike in traditional poker, suits are used to break ties. If players have an identical straight flush or straight, the high suit wins. If both players have the same pair or two pair, the suit of the highest kicker determines the winner. The order of suits, strongest to weakest, is hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades.<ref>[http://www.pokerjunkie.com/poker-rules-rules-of-telesina Poker Rules - Rules of Telesina]</ref> Another unique rule states if two players have a flush the highest-ranking card is not used to determine a winner; instead, the Telesina suit order is used to resolve the situation. The final Telesina-specific rule states if there are only two players left in the pot, the highest straight flush (A, K, Q, J, T in hearts) is beaten by the lowest straight flush (T, 9, 8, 7, A in spades).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.reviewed-online-poker.com/telesina-hand-ranking.php |title=Telesina Hand Ranking |access-date=December 27, 2012 |archive-date=October 19, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211019071300/http://www.reviewed-online-poker.com/telesina-hand-ranking.php |url-status=usurped }}</ref> Note that these rules are as the game has been played on several online poker sites, but Telesina may generically refer to any stripped deck five-card stud variation.<ref>[http://www.pagat.com/poker/variants/telesina.html Rules of Card Games: Telesina]</ref>
