complete the bet or raise (complete the bet and
raise). After all betting is completed; a fourth
card is dealt face up to each player. From this point on, the highest hand showing
starts the action each round. Each player in turn may check or bet if there has
been no action or call or raise when facing a previous bet. On this round, if
the high hand is a pair, this player may check, bet the lower limit or the higher
limit. There is no bring-in requirement after the first betting round. A fifth
card is dealt face up followed by a betting round and a sixth card is dealt face
up followed by another round of betting. The seventh card is dealt to each player
face down and the final round of betting starts. Each round is often called a
street (the third card is called third street, the fourth card is called fourth
street and so on through seventh street). The betting on the third and fourth
street is the lower limit and on fifth, sixth and seventh street it is the higher
limit. Each player uses his or her best five cards to form a hand. If playing
high/low split, each player uses five cards to form their best high hand and five
cards to form their best low hand. These do not have to be the same five cards.
In 7 Card Stud high/low split, there is often an 8 qualifier. This means that
to have a hand that qualifies for low, you must have five non-paired cards eight
or below. One thing that often confuses players is how to correctly determine
which hand is the lowest. The easiest way to do this is to read the hands backwards
like a number. For example, 8 5 3 2 A would be read 85,321. The lower the number,
the lower the hand. Here are a few examples in order from lowest to highest to
help you understand how this works.
A 2 3 4 5 - 54,321
A
2 4 5 6 - 65,421
2 3 4 5 6 - 65,432
3 4 5 6 7 - 76,543
