Betting Note:
7-card stud is different than Texas Hold'Em and Omaha Poker in that the player with the highest ranking hand face up bets first for that round. The bet then goes clockwise around the table.

After betting, the hands are called and the person with the highest 5 card hand takes home the jackpot. Although you are dealt seven cards in any seven-card game, you only play your best five cards at the end of the hand.

When Playing 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo:
A low hand in poker must 'qualify', meaning not any low hand can be played. A players low hand must consist of 5 cards that are 8 or lower. Aces can be played low, and straights and flushes do not count in a low hand.
