When rooms rarely spread nlhe stud seemed to be the more popular of the two to me. It caught up some and basically caught and passed it right at the same time nlhe (and internet poker) got popular. Most places I can remember lhe never really overtook stud. It varied a lot and obviously I don't know what every card room in the world spread. I wasn't around but from what I read isn't the chronology something like this:ĥ card stud->5 card draw/lowball->NL holdem (uncapped)->7 card stud->Limit HE->NLHE (capped)
