    Study Notes

    Seven Card Stud Games

    • In Seven Card Stud games, players receive a total of seven cards (three down cards and four up cards).
    • Maximum number of players is 8, with one additional player seated at the Final Table (max 9 players).

    Bringing-In

    • The bring-in is announced by the dealer, e.g., "Deuce of Diamonds".
    • If a player asks "How much?", the dealer will provide the option to bring-in for one amount or complete for a higher amount.

    Short Stub

    • When dealing to 4 or more players, the dealer counts the number of players remaining and adds two to that number.
    • The dealer then counts the remaining cards in the deck stub and determines if there are enough cards to complete 7th street.
    • If there are not enough cards, the dealer may use the burn cards to create a new stub.

    Exposed Seventh Street (Final Down Card)

    • If seventh street is dealt face-up, all remaining players will receive seventh street face-up.
    • In Stud, high board has first action, and in Razz, low board has first action.

    Card Exposed - Delivered with Action Incomplete

    • If a card is exposed during 4th, 5th, or 6th streets, the dealer will:
      1. Place the exposed card in front of the dealer tray.
      2. Finish dealing the round.
      3. Complete betting action.
      4. Deal one card face down for each player remaining.
      5. Burn, then deal remaining streets as normal.

    Dead Hands and Mucking in Stud

    • In stud poker, if a player picks up their up-cards while facing action, the hand is dead.
    • Proper mucking in stud is turning down all up-cards and pushing them all forward face down.

    All-In for the Ante

    • When a player is all-in for the ante, the next player in rotation will be directed to either post the bring-in or make the completion to the full bet.

    Undeclared Raise in Seven Card Stud Structure

    • If a player throws in chips without declaration, it is considered a call of the bring-in.
    • The player must then complete the wager to the full bet.

    Razz (7-Card Stud, Low Only)

    • The highest card showing by rank and suit will be the bring-in.
    • The player with the lowest hand on board will initiate action.
    • The Ace always plays as a low card in Razz.

    Seven Card Stud (High Only)

    • The lowest card showing by rank and suit will be the initial bring-in.
    • The player with the lowest card has the option to post the bring-in bet or complete to a full bet.

    Seven Card Stud 8 or Better

    • The game is dealt the same as 7-Card Stud with the following exceptions:
      • The dealer announces new pairs and the high hand for each round.
      • To qualify for a low, a player must have five individual cards with a value of eight or below.

    Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Regular

    • The game is played as Razz from third street through the betting round of seventh street.

    • At showdown, the lowest hand will split the pot with the highest hand shown.### Omaha Hi/Lo Split 8 or Better

    • Betting structures: Limit or No-Limit

    • Live Action games: ALL exposed cards will be replaced

    Lowball Hybrids

    • Draw cards are never pitched; the proper procedure is Push-Pull only
    • Burn cards always remain on the table under the chips until a winner has been determined and the pot is pushed
