stud poker
No drawing allowed
Stud poker is a family of poker games in which players receive a mix of face-down and face-up cards dealt in multiple rounds, with betting after each round.
Unlike draw poker, players cannot discard and replace cards—they play what they're dealt.
The most common variants are five-card stud and seven-card stud: We played seven-card stud until three in the morning.
