Limit 7 Card Stud Poker Rules

Limit 7 card stud game structure is only different to the no limit version in terms of what you are allowed to bet and raise. For detailed 7 card stud rules, including the bring in and game structure visit our guide: 7 Card Stud Rules and Game Structure.

In limit games, the betting limits are fixed at set amounts and is dependent on the game that is being played. If you are playing a $5/$10 limit game, then the betting would be done in these increments. Players would initially post an ante, which is normally around 10% of the big bet.

Another key element is that the first two betting rounds are conducted at the cap of the lower betting limit. So in a $5/$10 game, the first two betting rounds would be at $5. So assume player one bets the $5 limit, should player two want to raise, he can only bet double the initial bet, in this case $10. Should a third player post a re-raise, the limit would be double again ($30). There is normally a cap on the number of raises that can be made, and this is normally three (sometimes four in live games).

The last three betting rounds are conducted at the higher betting limit, or $10. That is to say that again if a player bet he could bet a maximum of $10 and a raiser would only be able to raise to $20. A third re-raise would be capped at $40.
