The basic Seven Card Stud Poker Rules object of the game
is to make the best 5-card hand using the players own three
personal cards (hole cards) and the four cards dealt to
each player face up.
Initially, the seven card stud rules state, all of the
players must place an ante, the level is set by the card
room, into the pot.
The dealer then deals each player three cards, two hidden
and one which all of the other players can see. Following
this there will be a round of betting.
During each betting round, the players will each have to
Bet, Check, Fold or Raise. See our Dictionary page for definitions
of these.
The dealer will then deal each player remaining in the
game another card face up for everyone to see. Another round
of betting follows this.
This continues until there are four cards dealt face up
for everyone to see, whereby, after another round of betting
the dealer deals each player with their last card. This
card is dealt face down and hidden from the other players.
At this point all players have seven cards, 3 hidden and
4 in view of the other players. The last round of betting
then takes place.
After the betting has completed, the players have the Showdown,
where it is determined who has the best hand. For the ranking
and values of hands, see our Hand Values page.
During the Showdown, the players can use any of their seven
cards to make up the best hand of five cards available to
them.
The player with the best hand then takes the value of the
pot. If two players have the same value of hand then the
pot is equally split.
