Seven-Card Stud is one of the most popular forms of poker today. A table awaits at virtually every poker venue.
Your position at the table can often dictate your playing style. For instance, if you're last to play, you might try to bluff and steal the pot when appropriate. If you're first to play while holding a strong hand, you might bet small and allow players after you to drive up the stakes.
Seven-Card Stud requires a keen eye, as many cards are visible on the table. Making deductions based on the cards you can see is part of a winning strategy.
Don't walk into a casino or card house expecting to win until you've practiced the game on your own and understand it thoroughly. Experienced players at these tables look forward to relieving "live fish" of their money, and you could end up learning expensive lessons.

To be honest I never learned how to play 7 Card Stud. Some of my old friends tell me it's the most fun Poker Game they've ever played. Hopefully later this year my business partner and myself can go to Las Vegas and get a 7 Card Poker Game on! -

It might seem scary at first, but playing poker in a casino can be a lot of fun. Play very tight - don't be in a hand unless you have three good cards to start. You only have to ante if you have the lowest initial up card, so it doesn't cost much to play.

When you feel you have a good hand from the beginning, force the action with a raise or a bigger bring-in. This winnows out the bad hands and allows you to play heads-up with only one or two players.
