Stud:
Before No Limit Holdem as well-known and most popular variant, there was another game that was popular in most casinos. 7 Card Stud This poker game is played with the same deck as no-limit hold'em, but can be used per player up to 7 cards, what the maximum number of players reduced to a table at 8 (although even this would not theoretically be sufficient if all players except on 7th Street would be involved. This difference can be found directly next to hold'em. There is no sense in the flop, turn and river, but the 3rd Street, where you get the first 3 cards, 4th Street, where you get the fourth , to the possible 7th Street and seventh card. Stud at Full Tilt Poker is now again a very popular option and is currently more and more followers. the first 2 cards, and the last to be given further obscured, while the remaining cards for each opponents can be seen openly on the table. So Stud is a game of information since they can often be determined relatively accurately the hand of the enemy.
As in Hold'em from 5 of the 7 cards have the best combination can be formed. After each Street (3rd to 7th) there is a betting round, with Stud is usually played with an ante that set each player before receiving the card has, and a carry-in (a sort of blind), the player with the lowest Door card, this is the card of the first three cards, which is not covered put, it must. In addition, there are almost just as Stud Limit variant, that is, the bets are limited.
But what cards you should play in Stud now, to be successful? Well, first you have to distinguish between Stud Hi, the "normal" Stud, and Stud Hi / Lo. In Hi / Lo is the half of each pot to the best low hand (5 cards under 8). Now let's standard of Stud Hi. Basically, all pairs are playable, which is of course the higher the better. The best starting hand consists therefore of a kind, aces. Each triplet (one is "rolled up") as possible should be played aggressively. In addition, you can play 3 cards of one color, and maps related (eg 7-8-9). Much more important than your own cards, however, are the door cards of the opponent. If you own, for example, holds three crosses, but at 5 enemies each sees another cross, the hand is relatively worthless. Especially with small pairs, all cards will be "live", meaning no one should see the enemy. Once you have decided to go into his hand, then the 5th Street is still very important because then the Betsizes be doubled and there usually has to be decided whether to play the hand until the end.
