I can't say much about 7 card stud due to lack of playtime. Whenever I suggest trying something other than Texas Holdem No-Limit to my poker buddies, they turn into morons. They pretend that everything else is far too complex.

Bitches!

meh I like 7 card. Not as much as no limit hold em but if you play holdem you're committed to playing it for the night. It makes for a shitty night if you get knocked out early.

Stud is for guys who like it in the butt. Real men play with fewer streets.

^ plays 5-card-stud, because he's in love with Steve "Kid" McQueen

Just cause I like stud don't make me no queer.

What do you do with AJ when you hit the J on the flop and play against Queens? .... SIT IT OUT!!!

Lucky bastard. Would you have gone all in if you hadn't got the Ace?

Probably not.

I had a very bad feeling when the second Ace hit the river..... Full House?

That kid was raising hard after the flop...You had to call that though. Flopping an Ace high flush...I would have put the car keys on the table.

Good play. You mainly checked and called, making him believe you were looking for a card. What a shock it must have been to him to learn his pickup ace didnt matter

not the biggest pot, but I was so happy that I hadn't folded ...
