7 Card stud was the most popular type of poker till the 90`s. Then Texas Hold`em became more popular. In 7 card stud the player`s aim is to get possibly the best five card set out of seven cards. The players play against each other ( similarly to Hold`em ) not against the casino, like for example in Caribbean poker.

First, all the players stake admittance stake- ante. Next, the player gets first three cards: two "facing down" ("hole cards") and one shown ( Third Street) so that other players can see it. The player with the lowest shown card starts the first stake round ( bring-in bet). Then the players get another card- facing up- called Fourth Street and the second stake round starts (this time the player with two highest facing up cards starts staking). The players get another card facing up ( Fifth Street) and the next stake round starts. All that is repeated with the sixth card ( Sixth Street). At the end the players get the seventh card-Seventh Street (it is facing down this time), so that other players can not see it, and the last stake round starts. The winner is the player with the highest five card set (out of the player`s seven cards).
