A few weeks ago, I wrote about Mississippi Stud, which is a relatively new game that has been growing quickly in popularity.  Mississippi Stud was based on one of the granddaddy games - Let It Ride.  I have frequently referred to Mississippi Stud as Let It Ride on Speed.  The critical difference between the two games is that in Let It Ride, one wager is mandatory and the other two are optional.  Your choice is to let it ride or to pull it back.  In Mississippi Stud, your choice is to make a wager or to Fold.  The math - and thus the strategy - is vastly different for these two scenarios.
