Refers to a form of seven card stud only played in home or private games where a joker, that is completely wild, is left face up as a communal card in the center of the table and can be used as a part of every active players hand.

SoundPoker Says: There are no community cards in regular seven-card stud so having a wild joker as a community card adds a whole other level of play. Now instead of having only the combination of seven up and down cards in front of you to make the best hand possible, you also have the wild joker to contribute to, or finish, your hand.
