| 7 Card Stud Hi Lo |
A player can have both the low and the high hand using any of their seven cards. As in 7 card stud, players are dealt seven cards in five rounds and they must make their best hi or low 5 card poker hand from the cards that they are dealt. The game begins with a small ante from all players at the table and each player is dealt two cards face down and one card face up. The player with the highest up card begins the betting with forced bet (called the bring in) and play moves in a clockwise direction with players either calling the bring, completing the bet (raising to the lower limit) or folding. In all betting rounds there is a limit of three re-raises. Next each player still in the hand is dealt another up card, followed by another betting round that begins with the player whose up cards make the best hand. No straights, flushes or full houses will count for this, as there are less than 5 cards face up. Next a third up card is dealt followed by another betting round, then a fourth up card is dealt again, followed by a betting round. Finally, a down card is dealt. This is followed by the final betting round and then a showdown. At the showdown players must make their best 5-card poker hand out of the seven cards they were dealt. 7 card stud hi/lo follows the two down, four up, one down pattern of seven card stud.
