Optional Card ( poker )
In stud, played in a home game, an extra card that a player
can "buy" after all the cards that constitute a hand
have been dealt. This card is generally a replacement for one
of the player's existing cards, usually with an up card being
replaced by an up card, and a down card being replaced by a
down card, and often with the player having to pay for the card,
that is, put extra chips in the pot, such chips not constituting
a bet, because that "bet" does not have to be matched
by other players. "We're playing five-card stud, high-low,
with a twist." Also called discard, pitch, replacement,
substitution.
