Seven-card stud's three main variations—high, low (also called Razz), and high-low—all pack into play five exciting betting rounds. In each variation, players form their best five-card combination out of the seven dealt to produce their final hands.
In seven- card high stud, the highest ranking hand remaining wins the pot. In seven-card low stud, the lowest hand claims the gold. In high-low stud, players vie for either the highest-ranking or lowest-ranking hand, with the best of each claiming half the pot, or players can go for the high-low pot and risk all to win all. Once again, players also can win the pot by being the last remaining player in the pot-either as a result of skillful bluffing or by attrition of opponents due to stiff betting.
In each variation, players receive seven cards. After the first three cards are dealt, two face-down (closed) and one face-up (open), the first betting round commences. The following three cards are dealt open, one-at-a-time, with a betting round accompanying each card. The last card, the seventh, comes "down and dirty." It's the third closed card received by the players.
All remaining players now hold three hole cards and four open cards. These are the final cards they will hold. One more round of betting follows the seventh card. Then the showdown occurs, and the best hand or hands (as may be the case in high-low) claims the pot.
