Following the posting of bring-in bets, the player to the left of the one who made the bring-in bet will begin the game by calling the bring-in, folding, or by completing the bet to full amount. If it is a $2–$4 seven-card Stud game then it will cost $1 for calling the bring-in while $2 will be the first raise. After the first raise, the players can raise twice in the increments of $2 each time. As in all poker games, the first round of betting ends after every player chooses to either fold or call all the bets.

Fourth Street Betting Round

After the first betting round, each player is dealt with a face-up card and the betting that follows it is known as Fourth Street. Starting from Fourth Street round, the players showing the best face-up card in each round will get to act first. In the case of a tie between two or more players, the suit of their cards is used for breaking the tie (similar to the tie-breaker for bring-in bet). In the round of Fourth Street, all raises and bets will be in $2 increments in $2–$4 game. After the completion of Fourth Street round, the players are dealt with another face-up card.
