The Play: This game is played just like regular Seven Card Stud, except the high hand and the low hand split the pot. To qualify for the low hand, an eight low or better (lower) is needed. If there is no qualifying low hand, the high hand takes the entire pot. High-low split games use the lower betting limit on the third and fourth cards and the upper limit on the rest of the hand, with an open pair not affecting the limit on the fourth card as in Seven Card Stud high only. Aces may be used for low, and straights and flushes do not impair the value of a hand for low. (Ace-two-three-four-five is the best low hand).
The Object:A player may use any five of his/her seven cards to make their best high hand, and any other grouping of five cards, whether the same as their high hand ot not, to make his/her best low hand.
