How To Play Super Stud 8 or better
“Super Stud 8 or Better” – Stud Variant
- The best high hand will scoop the pot unless there is a qualifying low that will chop the pot.
- Players need five unpaired cards 8-or-lower to qualify for low. High-card qualifies for high if no pairs.
- Aces can be either high or low or both if someone makes a low with an A-high flush or a pair of aces.
- Players ante 1-chip and high card showing on 3rd street brings it in for either 1 or 4 chips.
- Players start with 4 cards down & 1 up. They must discard 2 of their down cards before 4th street is dealt.
- Players continuing on 4th street can call the 1-chip bring-in, complete to 4-chips, or raise 4 more chips.
- From 4th street onward the game deals just like 7-Card Stud where 4th, 5th, & 6th street are dealt face up.
- 5th, 6th, and 7th street bets are 8-chip increments. 7th street is dealt face down before betting & showdown.
