The Seven Card Stud

NOT SO LONG AGO, YOU COULD GET GOOD AT POKER ONLY BY LOSING AS
YOU LEARNED. Now there's a cheaper way. Turbo Seven-Card Stud, a CD-ROM from Wilson Software, lets you populate your virtual poker table with customized "players." Some cyber- opponents remember every card that's dealt; others are smart enough to know when you've paired up. The cards come at you as they would in a casino, but Turbo Stud does something
that no flesh-and-blood dealer would ever do: It tells you whether you played your
hand correctly.

Watching Turbo Stud in action at the legendary Gambler's Book Shop in Las Vegas, Herbie
"The Hat" Lipson - one of the store's sports-betting experts - reports that he finished in the top
15% at this year's World Series of Poker tournament for media types. "And all my knowledge," adds Lipson as he pats the computer monitor, "came from here."
