Seven
Card Stud Low
The lowest hand wins the pot. The format is similar to seven-card
stud high, except the high card (aces are low) is required
to make the forced bet on the first round, and the low hand
acts first on all subsequent rounds. Straights and flushes
have no ranking, so the best possible hand is 5-4-3-2-A (a
wheel). An open pair does not affect the betting limit.
RULES OF RAZZ
1. All seven-card stud rules apply in razz except as otherwise
noted.
2. The lowest hand wins the pot. Aces are low, and straights
and flushes have no effect on the low value of a hand. The
best possible hand is 5-4-3-2-A.
3. The highest card by suit starts the action with a forced
bet. The low hand acts first on all subsequent rounds. If
the low hand is tied, the first player clockwise from the
dealer starts the action.
4. Fixed-limit games use the lower limit on third and fourth
streets and the upper limit on subsequent streets. An open
pair does not affect the limit.
5. The dealer announces all pairs the first time they occur,
except pairs of facecards, which are never announced.
