Card Stud Rules
The version of online
poker that most beginning players recall playing at one time or
another is Seven Card Stud. Similar to the other games of
poker in betting structure and pot regulations, Seven Card Stud is
very fun when played with a large group of people. The major
difference between Seven card and Omaha or Texas Holdem is there are
no community cards, giving great need for good bluffing skills and
strategy.
All games start with an
ante from every player. This is a small sum as determined in
relation to the size of the minimum and maximum betting stakes,
which is put into the pot to guarantee earnings of some kind.
Antes serve the same purpose as the small and big blinds.
After all players have contributed to the pot, each player is dealt
three cards - one exposed, two facedown.
When all cards are
finished being dealt, the first wager round begins with the player
holding the lowest ranked, face-up card. Possible actions are
betting, calling, raising or folding.
At the close of the
first wager round, which ends on the player to the right of the one
who started it, all remaining players in the game are dealt another
face-up card. This immediately leads into the second wager
round. All players can bet, call, raise, check or fold.
All bets are still set at the minimum stake amount.
A third face-up card is
dealt to all remaining players in the game - also called Fifth
Street - Leading into the third wager round. All bets are now
set at the maximum stake amount.
This same process
continues for two more betting rounds, giving all players a total of
seven cards (two facedown, two face-up). After the fifth
betting round is completed, all remaining players reveal their hands
for the Showdown. The highest ranked poker hand wins the total
pot, minus rake fees.
