7 card Stud Hi Lo follows the exact same betting structure as regular 7 Card Stud. The difference is that in Hi Lo the pot can be split between two qualifying hands, the high and the low.
To qualify for the low hand you must hold 5 unpaired cards all with a value of 8 or lower. E.g. 23568.
NB: An Ace can be used as a low card or as a high card.
So, it is possible to hold both the best high hand and the best low hand and win the full pot. E.g. A2345 would qualify for both…competing as a straight for the high hand and as 5 high for the low hand.
If there is no qualifying low hand then the full pot is awarded to the best high hand.
