7 Stud Tips/Advice needed, TKarrde, 9. Oct 2003 07:43
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
I am going to enter a loca (non-casino) 7 Stud tournament in a week. Just entering with some friends as entertainment. But 7 Stud is not my game. I only know Hold Em and a little Omaha. I'm doing this just for fun but I still want to do the best I can.

Any tips/advice for someone not as familiar with 7 Stud?

There should be appoximately 30 players at a $50 buy-in. No rebuy. I have no idea of the begining stack, ante, or bet sizes.

Possibilitiy that they won't allow check-raising.

And I have no clue as to how good (or bad) these players are going to be.

Thanks!!

TK

Do they blindfold you too? Seiously, the key to 7 card ( my main game)
is your starting 3 cards. bigger pairs --8 and above split or pocket--pocket being better, 3 str8s, 3flushes, occasional gapper. throw everything else away. PLay tight,tight,tight regardless of how loose your friends get. Don't worry about the prohibition on check- raising
thats mainly for hold-em. If possible, don't drink--make up an excuse
drink water. good luck

TKarrde it is likely too late for this tourney but for the future I would suggest reading Roy West's 7stud literature. It is perfect for a beginner. Good luck!!! GRANT PITTMAN
