Stud Poker
Quick Summary
Stud poker is a card game where some cards are dealt faceup and others are kept hidden. In seven-card stud, players receive two hidden cards and one faceup card, followed by three more faceup cards and a final hidden card, with betting intervals after each deal. Players then choose the best five of their seven cards to form their hand. While five-card stud was once very popular, seven-card stud remains a common variant, often played as high-low, where the best high and low hands split the pot. Poker's origins trace back to ancient games like primero, with modern poker evolving in America from games like poque.123
