How can u play stud with less card then needed

rcman1980 · Sep 27, 2008

8 player X 7 cards = 56 cards
but in the deck only 52 cards
what is the magic?

p.s
No OO (object orinted) involved

Easily. First of all it would be highly unlikely and extremely rare (except in those stupidass wild card games) where you'd even need all of the cards anyway. Enough people will drop out by the end to eliminate the issue.

However, the rule in place is simple. If it were to happen and you ran short on cards for the last round of dealing, then instead of dealing out to everyone like normal, you would instead deal a single card into the center of the table to be used by all as a community card (just like the cards are used in hold'em and omaha).

It's happened once of twice to me on FT, there was a screenshot of it happening to someone else a while back where the table played the final card. I need to start begging FT to add 6 Max Stud 8 tables

Thanks for the replies and the screen shot. I grew up playing 7 stud and have never seen this happen. I always wondered about it and now I know.

Yes, one time a couple years ago I was unfortunate enough to have this happen when I had 4 to a flush showing, the river made my flush and it was folded around. Stupid loose tables >.<

Half the deck..

Well I'm no pro playing stud I'v played a handfull of hands and one being against a pro.. being David Bradly

My logics tell me that half the deck is 12 to 16 cards equal up to the best stud hands possible being 2,3,4's for example.. so why would all the players need to see all their cards atthe end of action.. therefore not needing all the cards.. if that makes sence..

The 1st time this happened to me was on a FT final table. I started hollering for the other 1/2. I just knew I had worked my butt off and the system had gone buggy lol. I was soooo upset lol. It took him about a minute or so to laugh at me and explain it to me slowly enough to penetrate the fog of grrrrr in my head lol. Now I get to sound smart when it happens and someone else always asks lol.
