Seven-Card Stud: Set-Up and Play
Differences between Seven-Card Stud and Hold'em
In Seven-Card Stud there are five betting rounds instead of four as in Hold'em. The game is played with an ante instead of blinds. In Stud there are no community cards. The player's hands decide the order of action. On the first round of betting the player with the lowest card has to make a bring-in bet and on the later betting rounds the player with the best hand showing has to act first.
Game Play
- All players receive two cards dealt face down (hole cards) and one card dealt face up (upcard). The cards are dealt one at a time.
- The player with the lowest upcard has to make a bring-in bet.
- The betting continues clockwise with the player to the left of the bring-in.
- A fourth card is dealt face up. The action begins by the player with the best upcards and continues clockwise.
- A fifth card is dealt face up. The action begins by the player with the best upcards and continues clockwise.
- A sixth card is dealt face up. The action begins by the player with the best upcards and continues clockwise.
- A seventh card is dealt face down. The action begins by the player with the best upcards and continues clockwise.
- All players make out the best possible 5-card poker hand.

no matter what form of poker you're playing (EXCEPT 3 card poker) this is the hand order.

Connie, I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about? But if a player in any form of poker ends up with the wrong total number of cards, their hand is always ruled dead.
