Seven-card Stud is one of the world's most famous poker games, but it is also a game that requires more patience and technique. Especially, you need to know when to continue and when to fold, because as the series of cards and betting rounds progress, it may cost a large number of chips just to stay in the game, and even more so if your hand isn't strong enough at showdown. The pot in Seven-card Stud can become quite large, since players can bet double the maximum bet amount after the third round of betting.
