Stud High/Low No Qualifier
Forced Money
The game is played with antes. The high card on the board by rank first and then by suit brings it in (as in razz). The K♠ is the highest possible card followed by the K♥, K♦, K♣, and so on.
Dealing Procedure
Starting with the player in seat one, each player is dealt two cards face down then one card up, followed by a round of betting at the small bet limit.
A second up card is dealt to all active players. This is followed by a round of betting at the small bet limit. Note: Unlike seven card stud for high only, even if there is an open pair on fourth street, all bets on this street will always be at the small bet limit. Action starts with the lowest hand showing (as in razz).
A third up card is dealt to all active players. This is followed by a round of betting at the big bet limit.
A fourth up card is dealt to all active players. This is followed by a round of betting at the big bet limit.
A third down card is dealt to all active players. This is followed by a round of betting at the big bet limit. This is followed by a showdown.
It is required of each player that they do not alter or obfuscate the order in which they have received their up cards.
Evaluating the Showdown
The best high five-card hand and the best California low hand split the pot. There is no qualifier for low.
