7 Card Stud Poker Rules
The player that opens each betting round is the player that has the best hand showing out of the cards face-up. If, for example, every player is dealt face-up mismatched cards, except for one player who has a pair showing, then that player opens the betting round.
In the end, each player takes the five cards out of seven that make up the best hand.
Ante:
The player must ante before any cards are dealt. The amount of the ante reflects the table limits. The lower the limit, the lower the ante.
Betting:
You are dealt two down cards ("Hole" cards) and one up card. The player showing the lowest card by suit (highest to lowest: spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs) must bring-in the first round of betting with a forced bet of half the lower limit. The player who is to begin the betting will be prompted. After the initial bet, three more up cards are delivered (with a round of betting after each card), then a final down card and a final round of betting.
The Showdown:
Any five of your seven cards can be used to make up your best poker hand. The best poker hand wins the pot. Should multiple hands tie, the pot is split with any odd amount going to the player immediately to the left of the dealer. If all eight players are still in the hand on the river, the total number of cards needed for all the players to receive their own card would not be available in a standard deck of cards. In this case the river card will be dealt face up on the table and it will be used as a community card. Hand Ranking At the showdown all remaining player's hands are compared to determine who has the highest ranking hand.
