One game that has
been around for many years is 7 Card Stud. This game
is so popular because it is known as a high roller
or high card game because there is a lot of money to
be won...and lost in this game. A basic
understanding of the rules are needed for all
different levels of play, but if you are looking to
play at an expert level that will take commitment
and many hours of online playing experience. The
basic rules of the game are as follows, the Highest
poker hand wins the game, the Ace can be used as
both the high card and the low card in straights and
there is a three raise limit permitted in each
round. After all players have anted up each player
is dealt two cards face down and one card face up
for everyone to see. The player with the lowest card
showing makes a forced bet of half the minimum bet
or full minimum bet (the choice is left up to the
player) and then the game commences. All of the
other players at the table either call or raise the
bet, ( or fold their hand ).
After this round of
betting takes place all of the players at the table
get a fourth card that is face up, from this round
on the player with the highest face up card or hand
is aloud to check or bet first. There is another
card dealt face up and the bet goes around again
being raised. The sixth face up card is now dealt
and there is another round of betting, after this
the final card is dealt face down. The dealer then
determines the winning hand and gives the winner the
pot.
7 Card Stud is a game in which you need tips to help
you out. First of all if you start off with a high
pair in your hand the best thing to do is play fast
and get as many of your opponents to fold as
possible which means less competition. Always make
sure to keep your eyes on the table, you are
watching out for key cards that can make or break
your hand. Play cautiously and get out soon if it
looks like there isn�t a chance of you winning the
game. Keep in mind that the first four cards you are
dealt are the key to winning this game. If you get
what you are looking for in these cards, then you
should continue to play, but if the cards are
playing out like you planned then it is best to get
out of the game, because it can be costly to hope
you will win.
Since 7 Card Stud isn�t quite as popular as games
like Texas Hold�em they can be hard to find. What
you need to do is find a good online poker room that
offers the things that you want like graphics,
animation, customer support and so forth, and make
sure they offer this game. Most online poker rooms
offer 7 Card Stud, but it isn�t featured as their
main game, this doesn�t mean they don�t have a great
game waiting for you. To find a good online poker
room, listen to word of mouth. Find a place where
you can read other players experiences and then make
a decision of your own on which you are going to
listen to. You can also choose by software provider,
if you have a favorite provider then you can find an
online poker room that they power and you will know
it is up to your standards.
