Super Stud and Variants

This game is a variation of seven-card stud games. This game modifies the rules of either stud, Stud High/Low Eight-or-Better, or Razz. Each player starts with four down cards, and must discard two before fourth street.

Forced Money

The game is played with antes.

If the game is stud or stud high-low eight-or-better, the low card on the board by rank first and then by suit brings it in. The 2♣ is the lowest possible card followed by the 2♦, 2♥, 2♠, and so on.

If the game is razz, the high card on the board by rank first and then by suit brings it in. 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 four cards face down then one card up.

At this point, there is a betting round. As in stud, Stud High/Low Eight-or-Better, or Razz, there is a bring-in and a round of betting.

Next, each player must discard two cards before fourth street is dealt.

Once fourth street is dealt, the game proceeds as in the regular stud variation.
