7 card stud starts with the dealer giving each player two cards face down and one card face up.
High card starts the betting. The betting round circles the table. Once completed, the fourth card is dealt to each player face up. Betting starts with the best face up hand. Each player continues to get one card face up (round of betting between each card) until there's four face up cards. Same betting procedure. The final card in the poker game is face down so only the player can see it. Final round of betting and players who are still in the game show their cards to achieve the best 5 card poker hand.
