Are we really certain stud is the most popular home game in America? Has anyone actually done research on this? I don't doubt that this was true at one point in time (quite recently), but given the recent holdem explosion, I would be very surprised if this were still true. Revolver 14:01, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Seven-card stud and texas holdem

What is the difference between these two games? I always thought they where the same. I thought Texas hold 'em was simply the American name and Seven-card stud the British name. Thank you!!

They are very different. If you refer to the holdem article you will see in that game players have two personal, hidden cards plus five common cards all players use, while in seven card stud all players have seven of their own personal cards with four being exposed for all players to see, and three hidden and only seen by the player (until the final showdown). 2005 23:17, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
