| This variation of basic five-card stud is played with an extra card and for low hands only. The first card is dealt face down to each player. Four more are dealt face up with a betting round after each. A sixth card is dealt "down and dirty" to each active player. You may use any five of your six cards to form your poker hand. The best low hand wins the pot, and you'll usually need a nine (or lower) as your highest card with no pairs. |
| In this variation of 7-Card Stud, the dealer gives each player four face-down cards (one at a time). After examining his cards, each player simultaneously turns any two cards face up. When choosing which cards to expose, it pays to keep surprises (like pairs) in the hole. From this point on, the game is identical to seven-card stud. There is a betting round, and then each player is dealt two face-up cards with a betting round after each. The seventh card is dealt face down, followed by a final betting round and a showdown for high. You may use any five of your seven cards to make your best poker hand. As in seven-card stud, most pots are won by two pairs. |
