For example, a $10/$20 game would have a small bet of $10 (used on third and fourth street) and a big bet of $20 (used on fifth street and beyond). In a game like this, the ante would typically be $1, and the.

The rules of betting, raising, and re-raising in seven card stud can be tricky, and at my little stints at the live tables, even the more experienced players have trouble keeping track of what the minimum bet is depending on what street of cards has just been dealt. In multi-way hands, it can even get more confusing if one isn't paying close attention to what is going on.

It is especially important to be paying attention to the table during the betting rounds if you are in a hand and intend to stay in for the next round(s). Asking the dealer or the players at the table what the next bet is, or betting over the minimum allowable bet mistakenly, tells other players at the table just how good (or not so good) your hand is. If you must ask, ask. It is not uncommon to ask what the minimum bet or call to stay in a hand is if there are re-raises at the table, however, do not make it a habit.

This is an example of a low stakes table where you can see how checking, betting, raising and re-raising works in a seven card stud game:

This table: $1/$2 Stud-Hi Table , 25¢ Ante, 50¢ Bring-In

8 players ante 25¢ and are dealt their first three cards, (the third card dealt to each player is dealt facing up, called the door card. The player with the lowest numbered door card is in first position for betting. The bring-in bet is a forced bet, and the player must place the bring-in bet regardless of whether they want to play their cards or not for the next round. At this table the bring-in bet is a minimum of 50¢.

The first position player can bring in the minimum bet or make a complete bet. The minimum bet at this table for the first two rounds is $1, so the bring-in player's options for betting are; bring-in with 50¢, or, bring-in with a complete bet of $1.

If the bring-in player chooses to bring in with 50¢, players wanting to stay in the hand have the option of calling, completing, raising and re-raising. If any player has 'completed', then players have the option of calling or re-raising. Checking in this round is not allowed.

A re-raise must be 100% of the last raise. After a raise is made, there is another go-round at the table to see if any players will call the raise. Players 1-7 have the opportunity to fold, call or re-raise. Players who want to stay in the round at this table by calling, must match player 8's bet of $3. Any player re-raising player 8 has capped the bets for round 1, meaning that the round of betting has been raised to its maximum. In this example, everyone called except player 1.

Now that all bets are called for the starting hand, the dealer burns the top card from the deck and deals out the fourth street card. The minimum bet for this round is $1. The player with the highest hand showing in their two-card up-facing hand has first betting position, and has the opportunity to check to the next player, bet, or double bet. Fourth street is the only time that a double-bet can be made, and it can only be made by the player in first position if they are showing a pair. A double-bet at this table would be $2 since the minimum bet for this round is $1. In this hand, Player 4 has first betting position. If the player in first position checks, he passes the opportunity on to Player 5 to check or bet. This continues around the table until a player makes a bet. Once a bet is made, players decide if they want to play their hand by calling or raising. Anyone not wanting to call will then fold. The maximum betting at a table is capped at 'four bets'. From the time the first bet is made, it can be raised up to three more times. A double bet, naturally, counts as two bets.

Now that all bets, calls, and folds are done for fourth street, the dealer burns the top card from the deck and deals the fifth street card. The minimum bet for this round and all succeeding rounds to the river is $2. The player with the highest hand showing in the fifth street hand has first betting position. Player 7 has taken over first position at this table and has the first opportunity to check, or can place the minimum fifth street bet. Remember that the movement around the table goes clockwise, so beginning from Player 7, the order of betting, calling, raising, or folding for the round of this table with the remaining players moves respectively. Players 7 and 8 check. Player 2 bets, player 4 folds. It goes back to player 7 to make a decision on whether to call, raise, or fold, and then to Player 8. Fourth-street betting rules also have special betting options depending on the cards showing which is not explained here. (see strategy section)

Now that all bets, calls and folds are done for fifth street, the dealer burns the top card from the deck and deals the fifth street card. The minimum bet for this round and all succeeding rounds to the river is $2. The player with the highest hand showing in their four up-card (sixth street) hand has the first betting position. Player 2 takes over first position. Only the remaining players that are playing fifth street will be listed here. Note that the 'four bet' cap is occurring during this hand. Remember that any raise must be 100% of the last raise, or in this case, double the minimum bet. If the minimum bet is $2, the minimum and maximum raise is $2. The next raise above that must be $2 above the last $2 raise.

Now that all bets, folds, raises, and calls are done for sixth street, the dealer burns the top card from the deck and deals the river, or the last (seventh) card facing down. Player 2 and Player 7 remain. The player who was in first position at sixth street maintains first position for this betting round. Player 2 is able to check or bet. When it is Player 7's turn, he is able to check, bet, raise or fold, depending on what Player 2 decides as his first move. Different scenarios to betting the river will be explained below.

Now that all bets have been placed and called, both players 'show down', meaning they show their down-dealt cards along with the cards that were dealt facing up, to see which player has the best hand. The dealer compares the hands to see which is the best hand, and the pot goes to that player.

In another scenario, the betting could also have taken place as such:

Player 2 bets, Player 7 raises, Player 2 then re-raises, Player 7 re-raises. (capped betting round). The result would be the same, in that; both players would have to show-down, winner takes the pot.

In yet another scenario, Player 2 in first position, could check to player 7. If player 7 checks back, (a no-bet round) both players would also show-down, winner taking the pot.

A player in this round that makes a bet that is not called by any other player because they have folded does not have to show their hand. The player who placed the bet will win the pot by default. For example:

Player 2 wins the pot and does not have to show their hand.

or:

Player 7 wins the pot and does not have to show their hand.

or:

Player 7 does not have to show their hand and wins the pot. Player 2 did not call the last action (which was a raise) and folded.
