How To Deal Seven Card Stud

Before dealing the cards, each player will make an ante. The ante amount is determined before play begins.

Deal

Each player is dealt three cards, one card at a time. The first two cards received are face down; the third card is dealt face up.

Objective

The object of the game is to win chips. Chips are won by being the only player that did not fold, or by having the highest ranking poker hand among all the players that did not fold at the end of the hand. A poker hand consists of five out of the seven total cards to be dealt to a player throughout the round.

Poker Hand Rank

  • Straight Flush (5 cards in sequence in the same suit )

  • 4 of a kind

  • Full House (3 of a kind with a pair)

  • Flush (5 cards in the same suit)

  • Straight (5 cards in sequence)

  • 3 of a kind

  • 2 pair

  • Pair

  • High Card

Card Rank

Highest to lowest - Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2

Game Play

The player with the lowest ranking card showing is known as the bring in. As the bring in, the player is required to make the first bet. Play moves left to the next player. The next player can call the bet by betting the same amount as the bring in player, raise the bet by doubling the bet already made, or fold to be out of the hand.

Once all players have called or folded, the first betting round is over. All players still in the hand are dealt another card face up.

A second round of betting then begins. From now on, the player whose faceup cards make the best poker hand goes first. The first player can check (stay in the hand without betting), or make a bet. Play moves left with players either checking (if all previous players checked) calling a bet, raising a bet, or folding.

Once all players have called or folded, the second betting round is over. All players still in the hand are dealt another card face up.

The third betting round begins and is the same as the previous betting round. Once all players have called or folded, the third betting round is over. All players still in the hand are dealt another card face up.

The fourth betting round begins and is the same as the previous betting round. Once all players have called or folded, the fourth betting round is over. All players still in the hand are dealt another card, this card is dealt face down.

The fifth and final betting round begins and is the same as the previous betting round. Once all players have called or folded, the fifth betting round is over. All remaining players will show their best poker hand using five out of the seven cards dealt.

The player with the highest ranking poker hand wins all the chips in the pot.

Rules

In seven card stud, there is a betting structure to follow. There is a low bet and a high bet. The high bet is double the low bet. For example, the bets could be two chips and four chips. In the first two betting rounds, bets are made using the low bet amount. In the final three betting rounds, bets are made in the high bet amount.

Before a round of dealing, the dealer should burn a card by discarding the top card of the deck.

If two or more players tie for the lowest card showing after the initial deal, the suits are ranked to determine the bring in player. The suits are ranked lowest to highest in alphabetical order. Clubs being the lowest, then diamonds, hearts, and spades.

If players tie for best ranking poker hand at the end of a hand, the tying players split the middle pot of chips.

It is possible to run out of cards when playing with eight players. If there are not enough cards for every player in the last round, the dealer flips one card face up into the middle. This card is a communal card that every player can use.

Seven Card Draw Rules

In hold'em, players receive two down cards as their personal hand (holecards), after which there is a round of betting. Three board cards are turned simultaneously (called the flop) and another round of betting occurs. The next two board cards are turned one at a time, with a round of betting after each card. The board cards are community cards, and a player can use any five-card combination from among the board and personal cards. A player can even use all of the board cards and no personal cards to form a hand ('play the board'). A dealer button is used. The usual structure is to use two blinds, but it is possible to play the game with one blind, multiple blinds, an ante, or combination of blinds plus an ante.
Rounds of Betting

How To Deal 7 Card Stud Poker


  • Opening deal- Each player is dealt two cards face down, which are known as hole cards or pocket cards.

  • First round of betting- Starting with the player to the left of the big blind, each player can call the big blind, raise, or fold. The big blind has the option to raise an otherwise unraised pot.
  • The flop- The dealer burns a card, and then deals three community cards face up. The first three cards are referred to as the flop, while all of the community cards are collectively called the board.

  • Second round of betting- Starting with the player to the left of the dealer button, each player can check or bet. Once a bet has been made, each player can raise, call, or fold.
  • The turn- The dealer burns another card, and then adds a fourth card face-up to the community cards. This fourth card is known as the turn card, or fourth street.
    • The Turn

  • Third round of betting- It follows the same format as the second round, but the size of the bets have usually doubled in limit games.
  • The river- The dealer burns another card, and then adds a fifth and final card to the community cards. This fifth card is known as the river card, or fifth street.
    • Flop
    The River

  • Final round of betting- It follows the same format as the second and third rounds.
  • The showdown- Using the best five-card combination of their hole cards and the community cards, the remaining players show their hands, with the bettor or last raiser showing first. The highest five-card hand wins the pot. (In case of a tie, the pot is evenly split among the winning hands.)

Other Texas Hold'em Poker Rules

Seven Card Draw


    These rules deal only with irregularities. SeeButton and Blinduse for rules on that subject.
  • If the first or second hole card dealt is exposed, a misdeal results. The dealer retrieves the card, reshuffles, and recuts the cards. If any other holecard is exposed due to a dealer error, the deal continues. The exposed card can not be kept. After completing the hand, the dealer replaces the card with the top card on the deck, and the exposed card is then used for the burncard. If more than one hole card is exposed, this is a misdeal and there must be a redeal.
  • If the flop contains too many cards, it must be redealt. (This applies even if it is possible to know which card is the extra one.)
  • If the flop needs to be redealt because the cards were prematurely flopped before the betting was complete, or the flop contained too many cards, the board cards are mixed with the remainder of the deck. The burn card remains on the table. After shuffling, the dealer cuts the deck and deals a new flop without burning a card.
    See Explanations,discussion #2, for more information on this rule.
  • If the dealer turns the fourth card on the board before the betting round is complete, the card is taken out of play for that round, even if subsequent players elect to fold. The betting is then completed. The dealer burns and turns what would have been the fifth card in the fourth card's place. After this round of betting, the dealer reshuffles the deck, including the card that was taken out of play, but not including the burn cards or discards. The dealer then cuts the deck and turns the final card without burning a card. If the fifth card is turned up prematurely, the deck is reshuffled and dealt in the same manner.
    See Explanations,discussion #2, for more information on this rule.
  • If the dealer mistakenly deals the first player an extra card (after all players have received their starting hands), the card is returned to the deck and used for the burn card. If the dealer mistakenly deals more than one extra card, it is a misdeal.
  • If you are playing the board, you must so declare before you throw your cards away; otherwise you relinquish all claim to the pot.
