Seven card Stud - Online Casino Style

Home History Games News Dictionary		Seven Card Stud is dealt to players with two cards face down and one card face up. Betting proceeds after that in normal clockwise order. The first round of betting begins with the player showing the highest-ranking up card, who may check. If two players have the same high up card, the one first in clockwise rotation from the dealer acts first. After the first betting round, another up card is dealt to each player and then a second betting round begins. The player whose up cards make the best poker hand goes first. Since fewer than five cards are face up, this means no straights, flushes, or full houses will count for this purpose. On all of the following betting rounds, the player whose face-up cards make the best poker hand will go first, and may check or bet up to the game's limit. This pattern repeats itself until after the fourth betting round. At that point the last card is dealt face down. Then the last round of betting occurs and if a showdown is necessary it happens after the fifth betting round. Each player makes the best five card poker hand he can out of the seven cards he was originally dealt. Under no circumstances can any discarded card from a folded hand be reused. Unlike draw poker, stud poker players use the information they get from face up cards to make strategic decisions. So if all the cards from the deck have been exhausted the last card will be used as a community card for all players to use in their hand.
