Seven-card stud, also known as Seven-Toed Pete or Down-The-River,[1] is a variant of stud poker. Before the 2000s surge of 0️⃣ popularity of Texas hold 'em,[2] seven-card stud was one of the most widely played poker variants in home games across 0️⃣ the United States[3] and in casinos in the eastern part of the country. Although seven-card stud is not as common 0️⃣ in casinos today, it is still played online. The game is commonly played with two to eight players; however, eight 0️⃣ may require special rules for the last cards dealt if no players fold. With experienced players who fold often, playing 0️⃣ with nine players is possible.

In casino play, it's common to use a small ante and bring-in. In home games, using 0️⃣ an ante only is typical.

Seven-card stud is the "S" game in HORSE and similar mixed game formats.

Rules [ edit ]

The 0️⃣ game begins with each player being dealt two cards face down and one card face up. The player with the 0️⃣ lowest-ranking upcard pays the bring-in, and betting proceeds after that in normal clockwise order. The bring-in is considered an open, 0️⃣ so the next player in turn may not check. If two players have equally ranked low cards, suit may be 0️⃣ used to break the tie and assign the bring-in (see high card by suit). If there is no bring-in, then 0️⃣ the first betting round begins with the player showing the highest-ranking upcard, who may check. In this case, suit is 0️⃣ not used to break ties. If two players have the same high upcard, the one first in clockwise rotation from 0️⃣ the dealer acts first.
