First Round of Betting

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.

In the Fourth Street Round

A fact to be noted in Fourth Street round of betting is if one of the players has a pair formed with the face-up cards then he/she will have the following choices: to check, to make a $2 small bet or a $4 big bet. In this case, the amount chosen by the mentioned player becomes the increment for Fourth Street round. If the mentioned player checks, the bets and raises will be the smaller amount (in $2-$4 game, it is $2).

After Fourth Street Round of Betting

Similar to Fourth Street round, one face-up card is dealt each in Fifth Street and Sixth Street rounds. All the bets and the raises will be for increasingly larger amount in the Fifth and Sixth Street. In the final round, the players are dealt with the seventh card, also known as Seventh Street or river card. In this case, the river card will be dealt face-down such that each player will have three face-down and four face-up cards. After the completion of the final round of betting, all the players should turn over their cards as they try making the best possible five-card hand with the seven cards they hold. The player having the best five-card hand will win the pot.
