Seven Card Stud

Some might feel that the days of Seven Card Stud are for the most part, past. The game used to be the most popular form of poker, and you will often find older players will know the game far better than the younger generations, as is the case with Razz too. Despite this, Seven Card Stud does have it’s followers, and is still one of the three main games offered on most online sites.

The game begins with two cards dealt face down and one face up, to each player participating. Following this is a round of betting, then another card face up for each player. Another two face up cards are dealt to each player with a round of betting between each one, followed by a final card face down. In this way, players will all have their own board cards, some of which will be exposed, and some concealed. This of course gives extra scope for bluffing and representation of hands during play.

I am sure variants of poker will continue to go in and out of fashion, and perhaps there will be a return to popularity for Seven Card Stud somewhere down the line. As long as online poker rooms continue to offer these games and tutorials on how to play them, I am sure that will always be players who can play games other than Holdem.
