Five-card stud | Razz

Five-Card Stud

Two cards are dealt to each player, one face down and the ither face up. There is a round of betting, starting either with the lowest cards or the highest card on board, depending on the betting rules. A third card is dealt face up, and there is a round of betting, starting with the best high hand on board. A fourth and fifth card are dealt face up with a round of betting after each. After the final round of betting, the best high hand in the showdown wins the pot.

Razz

Razz is seven-card stud lowball with A,2,3,4,5 the best hand. Straights and flushes are ignored.

Two cads are dealt face down and one face up to each player. Usually the high card on board (Excluding the ace up, and counts as low) starts the action. A fourth card is dealt face up, and there is a round of betting, beginning with the best two-card low on board. A fifth and sixth card are dealt face up with a round of betting after each, starting with the best low hand on board. A seventh and final card is dealt face down, followed by a final round of betting. In the showdown the best low hand wins.
