    <H2> <SPAN class=mw-headline>Seven Card Stud 8/B Rules - Objective </SPAN></H2>
    To make both your best five card high hand, and your best five card low hand, using any combination of the seven cards you are dealt. The player with the best high hand wins half the pot, and the player with the best low hand wins the other half. If there is no qualifying low hand, the player with the best high hand wins the entire pot.

    A qualifying low hand is made with five cards that are all 8 or lower, an ace counting as the lowest. No pairs can exist in a low hand, but a straight and/or a flush may. The lowest possible hand is A2345. The highest possible qualifying low hand is 87654.

    Note: Winning both the high and the low hand is called “scooping the pot”.

    Try out this site for a start. http://www.studstrategy.com/ The best book to read would be "Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players" by Sklansky and Malmuth for Stud HI. For Stud Hi/Lo or Stud 8/better read the chapter in Super System 2.

    Does this anyone know where you can find PL Stud or PL hi/lo online?

    I've never seen this online or played in a casino but we play it in my weekly mixed game and it's fun as hell and creates as much action in a game you've ever seen. We deal 2 down and then 2 up because honestly if we played on 3rd street we'd have people taking out 2nd mortgages at the game.

    Doyle Brunson didn't have to put anything in SS2 about Stud, because Chip Reese's contribution to SS1 is so friggin excellent. I've heard good things about Sklansky's Stud book, and Ashley Adams' as well, but I have not read either of them.

    Tood Brunson's SS2 chapter on Stud 8/b is quite good. Get Ray Zee's book on split-pot poker games for more on Stud 8/b as well.
