How to Play 7 Card Stud Poker
Below are the basics of 7 Card Stud.
First everyone is dealt 2 hole cards (cards only you
can see)and then 2 open cards (cards everyone at the
table can see).
After the hole cards are dealt, it is time for the
first round of betting. The person with the best hand
showing (the two open cards) opens the bet. The bet
goes around clockwise until everyone is done.
Then comes another open card for everyone.
Again the person with the best hand showing will start
the bet.
One more open card is dealt to everyone.
Another round of betting now with the best hand opening
the bets again.
Finally comes the last card dealt. Some prefer to play
this is an open card and some like it as a hole card.
Here at my-poker-blog.com we prefer to play the last card
down in the hole. This was there is more of an unknown
factor to what your opponents have and it comes down
more to reading other players' mannerisms.
Now for the last round of betting.
After the last round of betting, it's time for the
showdown. Have the best hand and win the pot.
