Rules of Seven Card Stud Poker
All about the Rules of Seven Card Stud Poker
Seven-card stud is played with two down cards and one up card dealt before the first betting round, followed by three more
up cards (with a betting round after each card). After the last down card is dealt, there is a final round of betting. The best five-card poker hand wins the pot. In all fixed-limit games, the smaller bet is wagered on the first two betting rounds, and the larger bet is wagered after the betting rounds on the fifth, sixth, and seventh cards. If there is an open pair on the fourth card, any player has the option of making the smaller or larger bet. Deliberately changing the order of your
up cards in a stud game is improper because it unfairly misleads the other players.
OBJECT: The best five card poker hand, out of seven poker cards, wins the pot.

RULES OF SEVEN-CARD STUD
1. The first round of betting starts with a forced bet by the lowest up card by suit. On subsequent betting rounds, the high hand on board initiates the action (a tie is broken by position, with the player who received cards first acting first).
2. The poker player with the forced bet has the option of opening for a full bet.
3. Increasing the amount wagered by the opening forced bet up to a full bet does not count as a raise, but merely as a completion of the bet. For example: In $15-$30 stud, the
low card opens for $5. If the next poker player increases the bet to $15 (completes the bet), up to three raises are then allowed when using a three-raise limit.
4. In all fixed-limit poker games, when an open pair is showing on fourth street (second
up card), any player has the option of betting either the lower or the upper limit. For example: In a $5-$10 game, if you have a pair showing and are the high hand, you may bet either $5 or $10. If you bet $5, any player then has the option to call $5, raise $5, or raise $10. If a $10 raise is made, then all other raises must be in increments of $10. If the player high with the open pair on fourth street checks, then subsequent players have the same options that were given to the player who was high.
5. If your first or second hole card is accidentally turned up by the poker dealer, then your third card will be dealt down. If both
hole cards are dealt up, you have a dead hand and receive your ante back. If the first card dealt
face up would have been the low card, action starts with the first hand to that player’s left. That
poker player may fold, open for the forced bet, or open for a full bet. (In tournament play, if a
down card is dealt face up, a misdeal is called.)
6. If you are not present at the table when it is your turn to act on your hand, you forfeit your ante and your forced bet, if any. If you have not returned to the table in time to act, the hand will be killed when the betting reaches your seat.
7. If a poker hand is folded when there is no wager, that seat will continue to receive cards until the hand is killed as a result of a bet.
8. If you are all in for the ante and have the low card, the poker player to your left acts first. That player may fold, open for the forced bet, or open for a full bet.
9. If the wrong person is designated as low and that person bets, the action will be corrected to the true
low card if the next player has not yet acted. The incorrect low card takes back the wager and the true
low card must bet. If the next hand has acted after the incorrect low card wager, the wager stands, action continues from there, and the true
low card has no obligations.
10. If you pick up your up cards without calling when facing a wager, this is a fold and your hand is dead. This act has no significance at the showdown because betting is over; the hand is live until discarded.
11. A card dealt off the table must play and it is treated as an exposed card.
12. In all games, the poker dealer announces the low card, the high hand, all raises, and all pairs. Dealers do not announce possible straights or flushes (except for specified low-stakes games).
13. If the poker dealer burns two cards for one round or fails to burn a card, the cards will be corrected, if at all possible, to their proper positions. If this should happen on a final
down card, and either a card intermingles with a player's other hole cards or a player looks at the card, the player must accept that card.
14. If the poker dealer burns and deals one or more cards before a round of betting has been completed, the
card (s) must be eliminated from play. After the betting for that round is completed, an additional card for each remaining player still active in the hand is also eliminated from play (to later deal the same cards to the players who would have received them without the error). After that round of betting has concluded, the dealer burns a card and play resumes. The removed cards are held off to the side in the event the dealer runs out of cards. If the prematurely dealt card is the final
down card and has been looked at or intermingled with the player's other hole cards, the player must keep the card, and on sixth street betting may not bet or raise (because the player now has all seven cards).
15. If there are not enough cards left in the deck for all players, all the cards are dealt except the last card, which is mixed with the
burn cards (and any cards removed from the deck, as in the previous rule). The dealer then scrambles and cuts these cards, burns again, and delivers the remaining
down cards, using the last card if necessary. If there are not as many cards as players remaining without a card, the dealer does not burn, so that each player can receive a fresh card. If the dealer determines that there will not be enough fresh cards for all of the remaining players, then the dealer announces to the table that a common card will be used. The dealer will burn a card and turn one card
face up in the center of the table as a common card that plays in everyone’s hand. The player who is now high using the common card initiates the action for the last round.
16. An all-in player should receive hole cards dealt facedown, but if the final hole card
to such a player is dealt face up, the card must be kept, and the other players receive their normal card.
17. If the dealer turns the last card face up to any player, the hand now high on the board using all the
up cards will start the action. The following rules apply to the dealing of cards:
(a) If there are more than two players, all remaining players receive their last card facedown. A player whose last card is
face up has the option of declaring all-in (before betting action starts).
(b) If there are only two players remaining and the first player's final down card
is dealt face up, the second player's final down card will also be dealt face up, and the betting proceeds as normal. In the event the first player's final card is dealt facedown and the opponent's final card is dealt
face up, the player with the face up final card has the option of declaring all-in (before betting action starts).
18. A hand with more than seven cards is dead. A hand with less than seven cards at the showdown is dead, except any player missing a seventh card may have the hand ruled live. [See – Explanations,” discussion #4, for more information on this rule.]
19. A player who calls a bet even though beaten by an opponent’s up cards is not entitled to a refund. (The player is receiving information about an opponent’s hand that is not available for free.)
