Here is an example hand for $2-$4 7 card stud with a .25 ante. The dealer deals every player two cards face down and then one card face up. The player with the lowest card showing is forced to make a minimum bet of $1, but can elect to bet $2 if he chooses. The player to his left can either raise his bet to $4 , fold, or call the player’s bet. Play continues until all hands have folded or bets have been called.
The dealer deals every player a fourth card, face-up. The player with the highest card is first to act: he can either bet $2 or check. Play continues clockwise around the table. After all players have acted, the dealer deals a fifth card face-up. The player with the highest card is, again, first to act. He can either bet $4 or check.
Play continues clockwise around the table. The dealer deals a sixth card face-up, followed by another round of betting with a bet size of $4. The dealer deals the final card face-down, and there is a final round of betting. The best five-card poker hand wins.
A basic strategy for 7 card stud should include folding early in the hand unless your hand is strong, remembering the cards that players fold (called “dead” cards), and not chasing draw cards that have already been dealt. You should play aggressively when your hand is best, as many players will draw with incorrect odds.
