7-Card Stud Poker: How to Play!

This how-to will teach you the rules and how to play seven-card stud poker, a classic poker game. You can also play this game hi-lo, but these instructions are just for playing the traditional high-hand wins all version.

The most important thing to remember when beginning to learn this game is that you get 7 cards to pick from to make your final 5 card hand, and you don't have to use any specific ones of the 7 you're dealt, just whichever 5 give you the highest hand.
