Who This Site is For
Information on this site is geared towards beginning and intermediate Seven Card Stud (and Seven Card Stud hi-lo) players. In addition, advanced players who aren't used to playing under extremely loose conditions can also benefit from the information here. If you feel that your tight, aggressive play isn't paying the dividends it should you should definitely try our plan to play a game that is geared towards playing strong multiway hands that are designed to let you know exactly where you are on the flop.

Learn to Play | You can learn to play Stud and Stud Hi/Lo at several places on the internet. Once you know the basic rules of Seven Card Stud (and they are very easy) go to one of the online card-rooms and create an account. We have a complete listing of online poker rooms that you can choose from... One thing that is common to them all: You do NOT need to deposit money or even provide a credit card to play! You will be able to play Stud and other poker games for free with other people on the internet. For the absolute beginners there is nothing better than just getting out there and playing a few hands with other real people to get into the swing of the game. Low Limit Stud Strategy and Tactics suggests trying UltimateBet or Party Poker for free money games so you can get a feel both for Seven Card Stud and for their excellent interface. |

Read This Site | Work your way down the topics listed on the home page and try to understand the reasoning behind them. If you disagree with something--great! Real poker means adjusting to unique situations as they arise--there is no one hard and fast rule for playing. We describe a strategy here for playing in very loose Seven Card Stud games (and it is a strategy that works) but it is not the only strategy. As you progress through the limits to tighter and tighter games your strategy will have to change. |

Play for Real | After you can consistently beat a play-money table you're ready to try real money! You can start as low as you like (UltimateBet offers games at the 1c-2c level, yes that's 1 cents for a small bet--not very financially threatening) and Paradise Poker offers games that go down to 2c/4c level. These are perfect places to try out your strategy with almost no risk. We also have a growing list of online funding methods to give you some information about exactly how you can put money in your poker account and detailed information on what you should look for in an online poker room. In terms of player population, the largest sites at the moment are Party Poker, Poker Stars, UltimateBet, PokerRoom, Pacific Poker and Full Tilt Poker, but these are not the only choices! We provide links to every online cardroom we know of (and if we miss one you can submit it) at our Playing Online section. |
