Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Poker is based on Seven Card
Stud in that it also consists of five rounds of betting.
In this instance, however Players play for two pots
- the best low hand and the best high hand.
Players are less inclined to fold bad hands during
this game, as the highest and lowest hands split the
pot equally.
Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo is also called Eight or Better,
so named because a low (or lo) hand only qualifies if
its highest card is no higher than an Eight. A low hand
must be five un-paired cards.
Another difference between regular Seven Card Stud
poker and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo is that there are two
pots in Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo (Hi and Lo).
There are also various rules governing the qualification
and winner of a Lo hand in Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo. A
player can in fact play two separate hands representing
the Hi and Low pots individually, as long as the low
hand qualifies.
For a hand to qualify for the Lo pot, all five cards
must be ranked between an Ace and an Eight, with Ace
being the low card and Eight being the high card. The
cards can be in any combination of suits, since the
suit does not affect ranking in a Low hand.
Depending on the version of the game, a lo hand must
normally be made up of a mixture of two of the face-down
cards in conjunction with three of the face-up cards,
whether they are community cards (widow games) or player’s
own cards (stud games). To read up about poker reading your oppent then party poker has some useful information about this.
If all low hands drop and there is only high hands
playing for the pot then the highest hand wins the whole
pot. Similar if there are only low hands.
