Card Stud Hi Lo Poker
Home > Games
Offered
7 stud Hi Lo is very similar
to Seven Card Stud Poker. The only difference is that the pot is
split with the low hand if there is one present.
A low hand must be 5 un-paired cards with
the highest card of 8 or below.

The winning low hand (8 or better) is first
decided by the player with the lowest high card. If there is a tie
with the high card, the player with the next lowest high card wins,
etc. There is always a high hand winner but not always a low. If
there is no qualifying low hand, then the high hand wins the entire
pot.
At the showing of hands (showdown), each
player can use any five of their cards for their high hand and any
five of their cards for their low hand.
The best low hand is A, 2, 3, 4, 5. This
will also count as a straight for high. Straights and Flushes do
not apply to low hands. Aces can be used for both high and low.
A player can win the entire pot by showing
both the highest and lowest hands.

The action starts with the lowest upcard
by rank and suit to bet the amount that corresponds to the bring-in
for each limit. Suits are ranked spades as the highest, followed
by hearts, diamonds, clubs. The action then rotates clockwise and
players can call the minimum bet forced by the low card, or make
the first raise, which only completes the bet to the lower value
of the limit structure. Raises thereafter are of the exact amounts
of the fixed limits for each betting round of 7 card stud poker.
On the first round of betting, the lowest
ranked card is required to initiate action with a minimum small
bring-in bet. On subsequent rounds, the highest hand on board initiates
betting action. If hands are tied, the player to the left of the
dealer acts first.
Players are dealt a card face up for second,
third and forth betting round. Then each player is dealt the final
card(River card) face down before the showdown in which they may
use any 5 of their 7 cards to make their best possible poker hand.
