Razz
Stud turned upside down: the lowest five win.
How to play
- 01
Deal seven personal cards in the Seven-Card Stud layout: two down, four up, one down.
- 02
Choose the lowest five-card hand. Aces are low; straights and flushes do not count against you.
- 03
Unpaired hands beat paired hands. Compare unpaired lows from the highest card downward; a lower first differing card wins.
- 04
A-2-3-4-5 is the best hand. The club showdown omits betting and has no 8-or-better qualifying requirement.
Identical lows push; replay.
Standard five-card high-poker rankings
Royal flush → straight flush → four of a kind → full house → flush → straight → three of a kind → two pair → one pair → high card.
Compare the rank of the made combination first, then kickers from highest downward. Suits are equal. Aces can be high or low in a straight, but cannot wrap around. Short Deck, lowball, Three Card Poker, Four Card Poker and Poker Dice use their own rankings.
AFTER THE GAME
Cards down. Phones up.
The winner proposes the agreed collaboration share on the loser’s first qualifying prospect. Both call counters start at zero. The loser can cancel the proposed split by completing the agreed redemption challenge before its cutoff. The actual work and contribution still determine earned credit.
