7 Card Stud Hi-Lo Starting Hands

One variety of poker is Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo. In this version, there is the possibility of a division of the pot between two of the players. The player guaranteed a share of the pot is the one with the highest hand. However, there is the opportunity for a second player with a qualifying low hand to take half the winnings. A qualifying low hand requires that five cards have classifications of eight or lower. If no player has such a hand, the player with the high hand takes the pot.

In Seven Card Stud, more winning hands are determined by the player holding the highest pair or two than by straights, flushes and other big hands. That’s not to say that they never come up, but they are less likely to hit in 7 Card Stud than Omaha and Texas Hold’em games.
Omaha Starting Hands

In Omaha, because a player has four hole cards, assessing potential starting hands can be a little trickier than in games like Texas Hold’em (since there are a lot more potential hands a player could make with them once the board cards are dealt).
