STUD POKER FOR BEGINNERS Stud poker games have been popular since the eighteenth century, and modern versions such as five-card stud have been around for well over a century. Stud poker is characterized by each player being dealt both face-up and face-down cards. As any given hand progresses, their hands develop as they receive more cards. While five-card stud was a mainstay in the twentieth century, these last few decades have seen a huge surge in interest in seven-card stud. This game is extremely popular in home games, but it is also a go-to game for casinos and card rooms. As one of the simpler poker games, stud is perfectly suited for introducing new players to poker. The goal of each player is to win the pot, which contains all the bets that the players have made in any one deal. A player makes a bet in hopes that they have the best pot, which to give the impression that they do. In most Poker versions, the top combination of five cards is the best hand.
