How to Play Seven Card Stud Poker
Seven Card Stud Poker is a classic and widely-loved variation of poker, found both in Las Vegas casinos and online platforms. While its popularity is surpassed by Texas Hold’em?"featured prominently in the World Series of Poker?"learning Seven Card Stud is a great foundation for mastering other poker variants.
Understanding Hand Rankings
The hand ranking in Seven Card Stud is consistent with most poker variations. The strongest hand is a Royal Flush, followed by a Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, and finally, a High Card. Unlike Texas Hold’em, where community cards are available, players in Seven Card Stud must create winning hands solely from their own dealt cards, which makes high hands less common.
Game Structure
The Ante
Every round of Seven Card Stud begins with each player placing a small ante into the pot.
The Deal
1. Third Street: Each player receives two face-down cards (hole cards) and one face-up card. The player with the highest face-up card starts the betting, choosing to check or bet. Following players can call, raise, or fold.
2. Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Streets: Players receive three additional face-up cards, one at a time. Each card is followed by a round of betting.
3. The River: The seventh card, dealt face-down, leads to another round of betting.
The Showdown
After the final betting round, any remaining players reveal their cards, starting with the last player to place a bet. Each player declares the best five-card hand they can make from their seven cards. The pot is awarded to the player with the highest-ranking hand, and a new hand begins.
