Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Poker Rules
Posted by Curtom | May 20, 2008 | Posted in: Articles, Poker Rules |High/Low Split differs from the high-only game in that the player with the highest card must open the betting.
At the showdown, if a qualifying low hand (five cards of 8 or below with no pair) exists, it will be awarded one half the pot and the best poker hand is awarded the other half.
In the absence of a qualifying low hand, the best poker hand wins the entire pot. A straight or a flush, 8-high or lower, may be both the highest and lowest hand, in which case it wins the whole pot.
