Seven-card stud, also known as Seven-Toed Pete or Down-The-River,[1] is a variant of stud poker. Before the 2000s surge of popularity of Texas hold 'em,[2] seven-card stud was one of the most widely played poker variants in home games across the United States[3] and in casinos in the eastern part of the country. Although seven-card stud is not as common in casinos today, it is still played online. The game is commonly played with two to eight players, however; eight may require special rules for the last cards dealt if no players fold. Playing with nine players is possible.
In casino play it is common to use a small ante and bring-in. In home games using only an ante is typical.
Seven-card stud is the "S" game in HORSE and similar mixed game formats.
