You're going to sit down at the table. Please note that you should know the limits of the table. The lowest limit usually is around 2 dollars and 4 dollars, which is the limit game. It'll be placed next to the dealer. If you don't know just ask the dealer; he'll let you know. The game starts out, you get your chips. Everybody has dealt a hand. When you deal your hand you're going to 2 cards face down. I'm going to deal a 3 handed just to keep it nice and simple for the video. This is the start. Everybody places an ante in, which is required. Then the betting is going to start out with the lowest card on the table. In this situation, it is the 4. This guy has an ace, this guy has a jack. He's going to start the betting. He can either raise, which will complete the bet or he can just call or he can just fold, which ever he wants to do. The same with him. He can call, raise or fold. If he does raise, he has to call the raise and so does he, and if they want to they can also fold. The setup is if you stay in you do get 7 cards. It will go like this. You will get one; you'd get another one until they had 4 cards showing. Giving them 6 and then the last card is down. That's a complete 7 card stud hand. This is the beginning of your lesson. Thank you for watching. "
