unsufficient number of cards at 7 card stud poker at 8 players table?

t_funny_tr asked:


At 7 cards stud poker each player can have up to 7 cards if they call each hand and 8 players are allowed to play at a table simultaneously. So 7*8= 56 cards can be used by players at a table in one hand. But poker is played by only one deck and there are 52 cards in a deck as we all know.
So what will happen if all the players call until the 7th street (last betting round)? There will be insufficient number of cards. Wont there be? How will this problem be solved?

Play a game with community cards such as Texas Hold’em or Omaha.

If everybody is that loose, suggest they play for $100-$200, and take all their money.

Practically, though, you should play 7-card stud with only 7 players. Most places play with 8 because most people do fold early, and the situation where you run out of cards almost never happens.

Insufficient!

If there are that many people still in the hand, the 7th card is face up in the middle, and everyone gets to use that community card.
