In limit seven-card stud, all bets and raises must be equal to either the low limit, or high limit bet size, depending on what round it is. This bet counts as your first round bet, so as long as nobody raises, you won't have to place any more money in the pot to see the next card. If two or more players share the lowest card, the one closest to the dealer's left side must bring in. The ante does not count towards any future bets.Īfter the initial deal when every player has 1 card showing, the person with the lowest card must 'bring in', which means he must place the low limit bet size in the pot. Every player must ante up before the hand begins. Seven-card stud is normally played with an ante that is approximately 1/5 of the low limit bet size.
