The reason for these slight changes in strategy is that if the player makes a good hand with the Across Raise, then he is less likely to make a good hand after his Down Raise. With a few exceptions, playing 'Basic strategy' for the Down Raise is correct, and for those cases when the strategy does change, the difference in edge between the two is slight. Intuitively, the strategy should be about the same as the Across Raise, as the Across hand and Down hand pay independently. 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.
