"Seven Card Stud"
-
"Seven Card Stud" can be played with computer opponents or other online AOL gamers. As with all poker games, you begin by anteing up. The dealer passes you three cards -- two face down and one face up. This game utilizes Las Vegas' low-card rule, so the player with the lowest card bets first. Players can raise on their turn. The next three cards are dealt individually, face up. After the fourth card is dealt, the player with the highest hand of the face-up cards bets first. Repeat the process with the fifth and sixth cards. The seventh card is dealt face down. Players bet one more time, and the winner takes the pot.

Click on two to five cards to create the best poker hand possible. These cards will disappear and new cards will take their place. You must complete 24 hands to get to the next level. Also, you can earn a bonus by placing two predetermined cards in the same hand.
