Five Card Stud
Five-card stud is the earliest form of the card game, stud poker, originating during the American Civil War. Betting Procedure

The rest of the players, in clockwise order, either call the opening bet, raise it, or not call and "fold" their hands back to the dealer.
2. All get a third card face up followed by a round of betting. From this round on, the player with the highest up card(s) is always first to check or bet.
3. After the fourth card is dealt face up, the minimum bet goes to the higher minimum level.

Seven Card Stud
7 Card Stud Rules
The Seven Card Stud Poker Rules differ from those other Online Poker Games of Omaha and Texas Hold'em in that there are no community cards. Each person makes the best possible five card poker hand from the seven cards available to them.
Instead of blinds there are antes in Seven Card Stud which every player must contribute before the hand begins. It starts by each player being dealt two cards face down and one face up.
The person with the lowest face up card is forced to bet half the ante which is known as a 'bring in'. Following that betting continues in the traditional fashion.
Betting in Seven Card Stud is generally of fixed limit. Each of the cards are also known as streets so the fourth card revealed in fourth street and the final one revealed is seventh street, etc.
Carribean Stud Poker
This is a game played on a semi-circular table with three to five players facing the dealer using a standard 52 card deck held in a card shoe. The aim of the game is to beat the dealer with the five cards you are dealt.
The Caribbean Stud table features a Progressive Jackpot which is usually displayed on a digital board. This jackpot may be linked to other Caribbean Poker tables in the same casino or chain of casinos.
Seven Card Stud(8 or Better)
Seven Card Stud (8 or Better) is a fast-action game in which the "best" (highest) and "worst" (lowest) hands split the pot. Straights and flushes have no ranking in the low hand, although you can win both high and low if your hand can qualify for both. An A-2-3-4-5 is the best hand for low and and also makes a straight.
You can use one set of five cards for high and a different set of five cards for low and win both halves of the pot if holding the best high and low hands. To win low, your hand must be an 8 low or lower. Seven Card Stud (8 or Better) offers the player multiple ways to draw in every hand and the games can get fast and loose.
