Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo (Stud/8)
Stud Hi-Lo plays like Seven Card Stud but the pot is split between the best high hand and the best qualifying low hand (five cards ranked 8 or lower, no pairs). If no low qualifies, the high hand takes the entire pot.
Low Hand Qualifier
Five unpaired cards, all 8 or lower. Aces play low. Best low is A-2-3-4-5.
Unlike Stud, you build your low from any five of your seven cards independently from your high hand. The same cards can contribute to both the high and low evaluation.
Bring-In and Betting
Identical to Seven Card Stud: antes, bring-in from lowest up-card, fixed betting limits that double from Fifth Street. High hand showing acts first on all streets after Third Street.
On SPN
Both high and low are evaluated automatically at showdown. SPN indicates when no qualifying low is present and awards the full pot to the high winner.
