The next round of betting begins, same as the last, except that the player showing the highest open (face-up) hand must start the betting in every round from here on out. When betting comes back around to the bring In player, he has already placed the bring in bet, therefore may call the current bet by adding enough chips to his bring in bet to equal the full bet amount, or may raise if he so wishes.Įach player is dealt a fourth card, face-up for everybody to see. If you win, you may only collect chips from each player equal to the amount of your All-In Bet. If you lose, you are out of chips and out of the game.

All-In: If you do not have enough chips to cover a bet (or just enough to cover), you may go All-In by pushing your remaining chips into a separate stack near the center of the table.

Fold: To forfeit the current hand / pot by throwing in your cards, face-down without showing them to any other player (in order to not influence the hand).

After a raise is made all other players must match the raised bet or fold (or raise again!). Raise: You may raise by placing an equal amount to the previous bet (a call), followed by an additional equal amount (the raise).In this case it will be the bring in bet amount unless another player has already raised that bet. Call: When a player has placed a bet before you, you may call by placing an equal amount of chips in the pot.'Tilt people violently' is putting it mildly.Once the Bring In bet has been placed then the first round of betting begins, starting with the player left of the bring in player.Įach player in order must choose the action they wish to take from the following options: But if you get a 4 on the river, then you can have one wild card if you have no other 4s. So if you are dealt (55)5, you have 3 wild cards. Your lowest ranked hole card, and all others like it in your hand, is wild. My favorite way to play 7stud with wild cards is Low-in-the-hole. 'Tilt people violently' is putting it mildly. We used to play 2-card stud, no limit, hi-lo bet-declare-bet, with three twists, and 77 scooped the pot.

It's a pretty dumb game but can tilt people violently, making the rest of the night really good.

So a player can catch a Jack or pair and have to match the pot on a late street while making a very strong hand, but somebody with 77 scoops regardless. Any 'natural' pair of Sevens (not using a wild card) at showdown wins the whole pot. As cards are dealt, any hand showing an open pair must match the pot or fold, so catching a Jack means you are showing a pair.
