Ace High in Seven Card Stud Poker

Video Transcript

"Hello! My name is Taylor Honkofsky and on behalf of expertvillage.com, we're talking about 7 card stud. In this segment, we're going to talk about ace high. You're going to get your first 2 cards and your 1 up. See what we've got here. Right now, we have ace high. These 2 cards are down so your opponents can't see them. The ace and the 8 of spades and then the opponent only sees the king. You're looking modest so far. Bad card; doesn't really help you out. 7 of diamonds doesn't really match up with anything. Another bad card for you. You really don't have much at this point. I would suggest considering a fold probably at this point. But for the sake of the game, the lesson, we're going to keep going. I would definitely fold at this point. You don't have much. You're just sitting there with ace high kind of naked, kind of praying for a card to help you out and nothing does help you out. In the end you have ace, king, 8, 7, 6, which is nothing but ace high. You're not going to win too many pots like this. The only way that you would really call down with something like this if you do have a feeling that that other person just has completely nothing. Even a pair of 2s beats you at this point. Most of the time this is not a winning hand. I would definitely strongly suggest that you do fold before it gets to this. Otherwise, you're going to be losing some money. This ace high, 7 card stud. Thank you for watching. "
