Stud equity calculator

Seven Card Stud has no board. Enter each player's down cards and upcards for the street you're on, add the cards you know are dead, and see each hand's share of the pot.

Nothing you enter leaves your device. The math runs in your browser. We don't see your cards.

The calculator

Worked examples

We computed these with the same engine as the calculator, by counting every possible deal. Hand A is the first hand in each spot. Equity is the share of the pot a hand takes on average if no one bets again; it isn't advice on how to play.

1. A hidden pair of aces against four hearts

Each hand shows five cards on fifth street: the first two are the player’s hole cards, the next three are the upcards. Hand A holds a pair of aces. Hand B holds four hearts, two of them in the hole.

Fifth street. Each hand shows five cards; two cards are still to come for each player.

How Seven Card Stud works

Each player gets seven cards over five betting rounds: two down and one up on third street, an upcard on each of fourth, fifth and sixth street, and a last card down on seventh. You play the best five of your seven cards. There are no community cards.

What the calculator does here. Later streets are usually exact. The calculator seats at most 8 players and handles folded players and dead cards; the “How it works” section on the main calculator page explains the 8-player case.

Disclaimer

Poker equity calculator (educational). This tool shows each hand's equity: the share of the pot it would win on average if all the remaining cards were dealt with no more betting. It uses only the cards you enter and treats every unknown card as equally likely. It ignores betting and how anyone plays, and it cannot tell you what will happen in a hand or what to do. “Exact” results count every possible deal. “Simulated” results are estimates; the plus-or-minus figure means each player's true value is very likely (95% confidence) within that range. Nothing you enter leaves your device. Many card rooms and poker sites do not allow calculators during a hand; check their rules.
