Seven Card
Stud Strategy: Third Street
Seven Card Stud is a game that must be played
well on every level and in every situation
to be a profitable player. There is so much
more to pay attention to, that focusing
at the table is crucial. While in Texas
Hold Em, the turn, or fourth street is
said to be the most crucial point in the
hand, in Seven Card Stud, third street
holds the same designation.
Your toughest and most crucial decisions
will come on third street. You need to be
able to make a quick decision as to whether
or not to continue in the hand, and if you
do continue, Third Street will set the tone
for how you play the rest of the hand. When
you hit Third Street, you need to be aware
some hands play better than others in certain
situations. If it is a multi-player pot
where you are facing several opponents,
drawing hands especially combination draws
play very well. When you are only facing
one or two opponents, you want to be holding
a big pair with a good kicker. |
