Show Cards
Show cards are the exposed cards in stud, the cards that are dealt face up. Opponents can see them.
The simple explanation
In seven-card stud, some of your cards are face up. These are your show cards. They show the other players a part of your hand.
A closer look
Show cards give information about hands, and they affect the betting. A high card or a pair showing can be a sign of strength. Keep track of the show cards of the others to see which cards are live. The term is the same as up cards.
A practical example
A player has a pair of kings showing in his up cards. The others note that he may have trips.
