There are many variations of 8-Card Stud, but this lively one is played for both high and low hands. Two cards are dealt face down and four face up, then two more face down. There are six betting rounds, one after each of the face-up cards and one after each of the last two face-down cards. You may use any five of your eight cards in the showdown to make either your best high hand, your best low hand, or both. The pot is split each way. YouΓÇÖll need at least three-of-a-kind to win high, and with so many cards youΓÇÖll probably need a seven-high (or lower) with no pairs to win the low pot.
