Setting the Scene

[user42991]

Not including staff, we have about 15 or 20 people watching this heads up match for the Stud World Championship. So far we haven��t seen any of the ESPN camera crew roaming around. We have about 3 photographers and a couple of Harrah��s suits waiting with us to see who will be the next Stud World Champion.

Naturally, part of the reason for lack of interest may be due to the lack of a famous face playing heads up for the bracelet. The other reason is just the difference in popularity. Seven-Card Stud is a game that most people consider a dying game and as such it doesn��t get the publicity of No-Limit. The fact that it is a limit game doesn��t help its cause either.

If you look around at this crowd, you won't see a bored spectator in the stands. For Stud enthusiast, Seven-Card Stud can be just as interesting, if not more so, than Texas Hold'em.
