7 Card Stud Rules

In 7 Card Stud two down cards and one face up card are given to every participant. Once players have their cards there is an initial cycle of betting. Once the first cycle of betting is resolved each participant is given a single card face up and another round of betting occurs. This is repeated two more times for a total of four face up cards each with a round of wagering. A final card is given face down followed by the last round of wagering. During fixed limit games the first two rounds of wagering are for the lower limit amount. All additional betting rounds are for the higher limit amount.

The participant who assembles the best five-card hand wins the pot. In the event two or more players assemble the same valued hand the pot is divided equally amongst the winners.

General 7 Card Stud Rules

1. The first wagering cycle is initiated by the participant with the lowest ranking up card. Since this is a forced bet, the participant must open for the minimum and cannot fold at this time.

2. If your first or second hole card is inadvertently flipped up by the dealer it will turn into your face up card and the third card will be given face down to replace it.

3. If you are not present to act when it is your forced bet or ante, your hand will be taken and your bet or ante will be forfeited.

4. In the instance that more than seven cards are given to a player, that hand is deemed dead.

5. The dealer must announce the low card before the first round of betting.
