Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Split, also called 8 or Better, is a variation of the 7 Card Stud Poker game.
7 Card Stud Hi/Lo Split Game Rules:
- Betting starts when players place an ante on the table.
- They are then dealt two cards face down, and one card face up.
- The game proceeds just like the high-only game of 7 Card Stud except that the player with the highest up-card starts the betting.
- Players will form their best poker hand, which can be a high or a qualifying low hand.
- A qualifying low hand must have five cards of 8 or below, with no pair.
- Players will show their cards. The pot is split between the highest hand and the best low hand. If there is no low hand, the highest hand wins the whole pot.
