Rolled Up

Rolled up is a term for seven-card stud: a player is dealt three of a kind in his first three cards. It is a very strong start.

The simple explanation

In seven-card stud, you get three cards at the start, two down and one up. If all three are the same rank, you are rolled up. It happens about once in 400 hands.

A closer look

Rolled up trips are strong, but the hand does not always win: a player who is rolled up can still lose to a higher trips or a full house. You should play them aggressively, but remember that the others see your door card. If you slow play, you may get more action, but a free card may let someone draw out.

A practical example

In seven-card stud, a player's first three cards are J♥ J♦ J♣. He is rolled up with three jacks.
