The number of the participating players in 7 Card Stud can vary from
two to ten. At the start of the game the dealer deals each player two
cards, face down. You have to look at this so called "Hole Cards"
but don't let anybody else see this cards. In 7 Card Stud they need to
remain unknown to the opposing players. The next round of cards will be
dealt Face Up. He then puts the pack face down in front of himself
on the table. The player with the highest ranking upcard now makes the
opening bet. Now you have to either Call
or Raise
to stay into the game. After all the bets are made the dealer deals another upcard to the
remaining players. The second round of betting starts with the player
holding the highest ranking hand with the two upcards. The player then has
three choices. He can either Drop Out, Check or Bet. The rest of
the players can either Stay, Play, Fold or Raise. The next round the
dealer again deals another upcard to each player. Now you have three
upcards and "The Holes" on the table in front of you. The third round of
betting works exactly like the second. Two more rounds of dealing and betting
follow. The seventh and last
card will then again be dealt face down. The final betting round works
just like the others except players can also choose to Call instead of
Playing or Staying. After all betting is completed, the player with
the highest hand with the upcards starts to turn over his hole cards. He
and any other 7 card stud player may use any five of the seven dealt cards
to get the highest
possible hand. The gambler with the highest hand wins the pot in the
middle.
