Things Seem to Be Changing

Seven-card stud has had a stigma as of late as being an "old person's game." In most stud tournaments you will find that the average age of the players playing to be somewhere around 50. In today's event, there seems to be a good mix of players of all ages.

You still have your old school stud pro's such as Cyndy Violette, Mickey Appleman and Bill Munley, but in addition there seems to many more younger players in the field. This may be due to the fact that HORSE has become more and more popular amongst players. Another factor maybe be the small field size. The small field size is attractive to the pros looking to either get their first bracelet or to increase their bracelet total.
