Seven-card stud is one of the world's most famous poker games, but it's a more patient and technical poker game. Especially you need to know when to continue and when to fold, because as a series of cards and betting rounds go on, it may cost a lot of chips to stay in the game, and even more if you have a not good enough hand at showdown. The pot in seven-card stud can become quite large, as players can bet double the maximum bet amount after the third round.
