Many people sit around and play stud poker in their homes and in casinos. However, if you are mainly an at home player you may not be playing by the rules that you will see at an online poker room or in a casino. This could be very bad, if you start playing and make a big mistake that can hurt your pocketbook. The best way to ensure you are ready to play is by learning the rules of stud poker. All casinos offline and online use the same basic rules of play. This article will give you the basics for playing 7-card stud poker, even though there are other varieties such as 5-card stud poker.
The way in which the game of 7 card Stud Poker is played is that each player begins by putting the ante in the center of the table. This is normally a predetermined amount of money set by the casino or online poker room.
Once everyone has anted the dealer begins with the player on his or her left and deals two cards down and one card face up to each player. The player that has the lowest card face up begins the betting, known as the “bring in”. The betting goes around the table in clockwise fashion until every player has made their bet with each player either calling, raising the bet, or folding.
After this round of betting, the dealer deals the fourth card to every player that is still in the game, meaning they have not folded. Now, the player with the best hand showing begins the betting. Then the betting goes around the table again with players once again calling, raising, or folding.
The next card or fifth card is dealt to each player face up with another round of betting as before. Then the sixth card is dealt face up with a round of betting. The last card or seventh card is dealt by the dealer to each player that has not folded face down.
The players after this have another round of betting and then show their hand, known as the showdown. The winner is the one with the best 5-card hand. Each card that is dealt is also referred as street such as Fourth Street instead of the fourth card and so on until reaching Seventh Street or the seventh card.
Of course, this is just the basic game play, in order to play poker well, you must learn all about the rankings and what hands beat which hands. You may think that you have a great hand just because you have 2 pair, however, if another player has 3 of a kind or a full house, you will loose. The better you are at learning the rankings and the way in which to play the various types of poker games, the more likely you are to bring in some winnings.

Five card stud poker is very similar to Seven card stud poker, but obviously you only get 5 cards. It is probably one of the oldest forms of poker, as featured in most poker related films. There are no community cards, each player will end up with one card face down and four cards face up at the end of the game.
You can see most of your opponents cards, so you should be able to easily work out their strongest hand. If you cannot beat the exposed cards, fold early.
If you need completer cards for a flush or a straight, make sure other players are not showing them. High cards and pairs will win a lot of the hands.
However, Seven Card Stud Poker is probably the most popular of the stud poker games. It can result in high pots, and affords you the opportunity to evaluate the other poker player's possible hands. There are no community cards, and each player has four of his seven cards exposed to the other players. There are five rounds of betting in Seven Card Stud Poker, as opposed to the four rounds in Texas Holdem and Omaha Poker. Fifth street is a decision time, as the betting limit increases, this is the time to fold a poor hand, especially against aggressive betting. If you stay in be sure you can play your hand out to the end.
If an opponents exposed cards beat your whole hand, it is best to fold.
If you are trying to make a straight, look to see if other players are showing the cards you need, and reconsider your bet.

If there are that many people still in the hand, the 7th card is face up in the middle, and everyone gets to use that community card.

Here two easily understood variations on seven card stud. High or low Chicago, the high or low spade in the hole wins half of the pot (split with best hand). Mexican sweat: all players leave their card face down. 1st player to the left of the dealer turn over his/her 1st card establishing what the other players have to better. Next player turns over his/her 1st card, if it is better than player one move to 3rd player if not keeping turning cards until establishing anew high card or a pair. This continues around the table until all cards are exposed and a winner is determined

It's amazing that I find a lot of people in your shoes that do not know how to play 7 card stud poker. Before the recent poker explosion, 7 card stud was the most widely played poker game in most home games. Now it seems like old grannies are the main players of this game
