7 Card Stud Hi-Lo
7 Card Stud Hi-Lo is a poker game in which each player receives his/her own seven cards. Each player uses his/her own seven cards to form the best five-card poker hand and also the best five-card low hand. 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo will usually be played with a qualifier for the low hand, meaning in order for a low hand to qualify, it must contain five non-paired cards all lower than a predetermined rank. If no low hand qualifies, for example 8 or better, then the pot is won by the best high hand only.
In 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo each player may compete for and win both the Hi and the Lo hands.
