7-Card Stud

7-Card Stud is probably the second most popular poker game.  This game is played with up to 8 players

Each player is dealt two hold cards face down.

3rd Street - The next card dealt is placed face up.

1st round of betting - The player who is showing the lowest ranking face-up card.  In the event that players      show cards of similar value the order is determined by the suit.

4th Street - The 4th street cards are dealt face-up.

2nd round of betting - In this round the player with the highest ranking exposed cards begins the betting round.

5th Street - The 5th street cards are dealt face up

3rd round of betting - Same as 2nd betting round

6th Street - The 6th street cards are dealt face up.

4th round of betting - Same as 2nd and 3rd betting rounds

River - The final "River" cards are dealt face down

5th round of betting - This final round of betting proceeds similarly to round 4

Showdown - After the 5th betting round has taken place, it is determine the winner.  The player with the highest ranking five card hand wins the pot.

This game is pretty good.  I recommend this for my die hard hold'em players.  Good Luck!

Sportsbooks

I know that I have been away for a while but I must say that I have been busy venturing out into virgin territory.  I have really started to enjoy sports betting.  At first I was kind of reluctant to participate in this type of gambling because I have never been a big sports fan.  Although sports betting is illegal in most states one in which I currently reside, yet I highly suggest you look into some of the online sportsbooks such as bet us, bovada, and 5dimes.  It may appear to be difficult but trust me it is not.  With a a little research and luck you can be a winner at it.  Good luck!
