There are single table and multi-table tournaments.After the blinds, each of the players receives two cards face-down and according to them the players make their first bets.Taking notes quickly and acting quickly is needed because if you play too slowly, you will not only be discourteous to the other players in the game, but may also find that the "action" players (these are the folks that really want to get in there and gamble and have fun, and who often aren't paying attention to what cards are folded) will most probably leave your table and switch to another game.Players are very different; if you want to win you need good strategy and good poker skills.It is natural that when you have to open the betting in 7 Card Stud, you are obliged to bet something, but what if you already have a very good hand.
