Variant of card game poker

Seven-card stud, also known as Seven-Toed Pete or

Down-The-River,[1] is a variant of stud poker. Before 🍎 the 2000s surge of popularity of

Texas hold 'em,[2] seven-card stud was one of the most widely played poker variants 🍎 in

home games across the United States[3] and in casinos in the eastern part of the

country. Although seven-card stud 🍎 is not as common in casinos today, it is still played

online. The game is commonly played with two to 🍎 eight players; however, eight may

require special rules for the last cards dealt if no players fold. With experienced

players 🍎 who fold often, playing with nine players is possible.

In casino play, it's

common to use a small ante and bring-in. 🍎 In home games, using an ante only is

typical.

Seven-card stud is the "S" game in HORSE and similar mixed game 🍎 formats.

Rules

[ edit ]

The game begins with each player being dealt two cards face down and one card

face up. 🍎 The player with the lowest-ranking upcard pays the bring-in, and betting

proceeds after that in normal clockwise order. The bring-in 🍎 is considered an open, so

the next player in turn may not check. If two players have equally ranked low 🍎 cards,

suit may be used to break the tie and assign the bring-in (see high card by suit). If

there 🍎 is no bring-in, then the first betting round begins with the player showing the

highest-ranking upcard, who may check. In 🍎 this case, suit is not used to break ties. If

two players have the same high upcard, the one first 🍎 in clockwise rotation from the

dealer acts first.

After the first betting round, another upcard is dealt to each

player (after 🍎 a burn card, and starting at the dealer's left as will all subsequent

rounds), followed by a second betting round 🍎 beginning with the player whose upcards

make the best poker hand. Since fewer than five cards are face up, this 🍎 means no

straights, flushes, or full houses will count for this purpose. On this and all

subsequent betting rounds, the 🍎 player whose face-up cards make the best poker hand will

act first, and may check or bet up to the 🍎 game's limit.

The second round is followed by

a third upcard and betting round, a fourth upcard and betting round, and 🍎 finally a

downcard, a fifth betting round, and showdown if necessary. Seven-card stud can be

summarized therefore as "two down, 🍎 four up, one down". Upon showdown, each player makes

the best five-card poker hand they can out of the seven 🍎 cards they were dealt.

Seven

cards to eight players plus four burn cards makes 60 cards, whereas there are only 52

🍎 in the deck: in most games, this is not a problem because several players will have

folded in early betting 🍎 rounds. In the event that the deck is exhausted during play,

the four previously dealt burn cards can be used, 🍎 but if these are not sufficient, then

the final round will have a single community card (which can be used 🍎 by everyone) dealt

into the center of the table in lieu of a downcard to each player. Discarded cards from

🍎 a folded hand are not reused.

Unlike draw poker, where no cards are ever seen before

showdown, stud poker players use 🍎 the information they get from face-up cards to make

strategic decisions. A player who sees a certain card folded is 🍎 able to make decisions

knowing that the card will never appear in another opponent's hand.

Variants [ edit

]

There are several 🍎 variations of Seven-Card Stud Poker in which each player is dealt a

set number of cards. Not all of these 🍎 variations can be found at poker rooms but they

can be fun to play at home.

"Down the River" is the 🍎 basic variation of Seven-Card Stud

Poker and this is the game played in poker rooms. "Mississippi" removes the betting

round 🍎 between fourth and fifth streets, making only four betting rounds. This game also

deals the fourth and fifth cards face 🍎 up. This makes the game more closely resemble

Texas Hold'em by having the same betting structure and the same number 🍎 of down and up

cards. Another is "roll your own", in which four rounds of two cards each are dealt

🍎 down, and each player must "roll" one card to face up, followed by a round of betting.

Except for the 🍎 first round, the card rolled may or may not be from the round just

dealt. "Queens and after": in this 🍎 variant, all Queens are wild, and so is whatever

card that is dealt face up that follows the Queen. All 🍎 cards of that kind are now wild,

both showing and in the hole. The fun part is that if another 🍎 Queen is dealt face-up,

the wild card will change to whatever follows this Queen. The former card is no longer

🍎 wild. "Baseball": in this variant 3s and 9s are wild, and a 4 dealt face up gets an

extra card. 🍎 "Low Chicago": Low spade in the hole gets half the pot. Similarly, "High

Chicago" means high spade instead of low. 🍎 Just "Chicago" can mean either. "Acey Ducey":

aces and twos are wild. One-eyed Jacks or Suicide King can be specified 🍎 as wild. Razz

is a lowball form of Seven-Card Stud, with the objective being to get the lowest hand

possible. 🍎 In the variation called "Seven-Card Stud High-Low", the pot is split between

the holder of the highest and lowest hand 🍎 if the low hand is topped by at least an 8.

Alternative names to this variation are Seven-Card Stud/8 and 🍎 Seven-Card Stud

Split.

Sample deal [ edit ]

The sample deal below assumes that a game is being played

by four players: 🍎 Jimmy, who is dealing in the examples; Larry, who is sitting to his

left; Craig to his left; and Katherine 🍎 to Craig’s left.

All players ante 25¢. Jimmy

deals each player two downcards and one upcard, beginning with Larry and ending 🍎 with

himself. Larry is dealt the 4♠, Craig the K♦, Katherine the 4♦, and Jimmy the 9♣.

Because they are 🍎 playing with aR$1 bring-in, Katherine is required to start the betting

with aR$1 bring-in (her 4♦ is lower than Larry’s 🍎 4♠ by suit). She had the option to

open the betting for more, but she chose to bet only the 🍎 requiredR$1. The bring-in sets

the current bet amount toR$1, so Jimmy cannot check. He decides to call. Larry folds,

indicating 🍎 this by turning his upcard face down and discarding his cards. Craig raises

toR$3. Katherine folds, and Jimmy calls.

Jimmy now 🍎 deals a second face-up card to each

remaining player: Craig is dealt the J♣, and Jimmy the K♥. Jimmy’s two 🍎 upcards make a

poker hand of no pair, K-9-high, and Craig has K-J-high, so it is Craig's turn to bet.

🍎 He checks, as does Jimmy, ending the betting round.

Another face up card is dealt:

Craig gets the 10♥ and Jimmy 🍎 gets the K♣. Jimmy now has a pair of kings showing, and

Craig still has no pair, so Jimmy bets 🍎 first. He betsR$5, and Craig calls.

On the next

round, Craig receives the 10♦, making his upcards K-J-10-10. Jimmy receives the 🍎 3♠.

Jimmy’s upcards are 9-K-K-3; the pair of kings is still higher than Craig’s pair of

tens, so he betsR$5 🍎 and Craig calls.

Each player now receives a downcard. It is still

Jimmy’s turn to bet because the downcard did not 🍎 change either hand. He checks, Craig

betsR$10, and Jimmy calls. That closes the last betting round, and both players remain,

🍎 so there is a showdown.

Since Jimmy called Craig’s bet, Craig shows his cards first: Q♠

2♥ K♦ J♣ 10♥ 10♦ 🍎 A♦. He can play A-K-Q-J-10, making an ace-high straight. Jimmy shows

(or, seeing he cannot beat Craig’s straight, mucks his 🍎 cards): 9♥ 5♦ 9♣ K♥ K♣ 3♠ 5♠.

The best five-card poker hand he can play is K-K-9-9-5, making two 🍎 pair, kings and

nines. Craig wins the pot.
