Seven Card Stud is a game of uncertainty. What cards you play and how you play them is entirely dependant on what the other players has showing. There is no set basic strategy that can be used in all situations as there is in Blackjack. It is impossible to cover a complete strategy in a few short pages. What I hope to do here is to make you aware of the types of situations you should be thinking about during the game with a few simple suggestions to start you on the right course. Here is a strategy for Seven Card Stud.
