7 card Stud Hi/Lo Poker Game Rules

7 card Stud Hi/Lo is a popular, well-known form of poker. It is played with upto eight players at the table.

7 card Stud Hi/Lo Game:

Before the start of the game, internally the system generates a fresh deck of cards for the hand.

How does it work?

The system generates a random set of numbers, which are used to place a card of the deck in a particular position. Once the complete deck is created, the deck is used for that particular hand only.

The First round of 7 card Stud Hi/Lo:

A fresh table starts off with all the players posting the “ante” (putting a predetermined amount in the pot before the cards are dealt). This amount is based on the size of the game. While the ante amount is not based on a set rule, the same is decided upon by the prevailing game trends. For e.g. the ante amount for a 1/2 table is 25 cents while for a 3/6 table, it is 50 cents. A new game on an active table starts with all the players at the table posting antes.

In 7 card Stud Hi/Lo or better poker players receive seven cards, three “down” cards and four “up” cards.

After the antes have been placed each player is dealt three cards (two “down” cards and one “up” card). The “up” card is also known as the “door card” or “Third Street”. The lowest “up” card must initiate the action with a “Bring-In” bet. (If two or more players have the same lowest card, the person who brings it in is determined by suit order progressing from clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades.)
