7-Game Poker Rules

August 29, 2009

Since 7 Game Poker is a combination of 7 different poker games, for a beginner trying to keep up and understand the rules can be quite confusing. Each of the games in 7 Game Poker is played ten times before the players move towards the next game in the set. Since there are seven differing poker games, here is a quick set of rules of each on how to play. This game is only available at Full Tilt Poker.

Holdem Fixed Limit

Holdem Fixed Limit is the first set in 7 Game Poker.

  • Players are dealt their pocket card face down.
  • The first betting round begins.
  • Each player may either fold, raise, check, or even call their hand at this time.
  • The betting in this game is set to the advance level. If you play on a $5/$10 table, the max that you can bet on for round one and two is $5 and the last two of the rounds are played at $10.
  • Raises and bets are the same where the max is $5 for the beginning two rounds and $10 for the last two rounds.
  • The small blind bets at $5 and the big blind is at $10.

Seven Card Stud High/Low Fixed Limit

  • This game set of 7 Poker Mix is played with an ante and five rounds of betting.
  • In the beginning of the game, players will be dealt two cards facedown, four cards face up, and a face down river card.
  • Before receiving the opening three cards, the players must ante.

The player with the lowest card on their porch will initiate the betting at only one half of the low bet. Each of the subsequent rounds are started by the card player that has the best hand.

  • Rounds one and two are bet at the lower limits and the last two rounds are bet at the higher limits.
  • Aces can be either low or high, which depends on the hand that you are constructing.
  • Players can combine any of the five cards to make their best low or high hand.

Razz Fixed Limit

Razz is the same play as seven card stud; however, the low hand will win.

  • All players must ante before the initial deal.
  • A bet must be placed at the low limit after the beginning deal.

All bets must equal the lower limit during round one and two of play, while the remaining rounds are bet at the high limit.

If you run out of cards in the deck, the dealer will deal out a community card to the middle of the table, where all players can use it for their hands.

Omaha High/Low Fixed Limit

Players work to get the best hand achievable using the two of their pocket cards and three other cards from the community spread.

  • Each of the players will be dealt four cards known as pocket cards.
  • The player that holds the button can begin the betting.
  • The two players to the immediate left of the dealer are the small and big blind.
  • The player following the big blind is first to place a bet before the “flop”.

Seven Card Fixed Limit

  • Three cards are played face down and four cards are placed face up.
  • The standard poker rules will apply while trying to get the best five card hand as possible.
  • Five rounds of bets are available in Seven Card limit.

Texas Holdem No Limit

One of the more preferred and popular forms of poker, no limit Texas Holdem is often played less than the limit of regular Holdem.

  • Players will receive two pocket cards at first, then five cards will be dealt to the middle of the table to be used as community cards.
  • There is only one small blind and one big blind during game play.
  • The bet for Big blind is usually 1% of the buy in for the game.

Omaha Pot Limit

Pot limit Omaha, also known as PLO is one of the tougher games in 7-Game poker in my opinion. Below are some basics rules for PL Omaha.

  • All players will use two cards from their own hand and use three cards out of the community spread.
  • Omaha pot limit will have a small and big blind, where only those players can make bets before the cards are dealt to them.

If a player(s) run out of betting chips before the game ends, then they are referred to as “all in.” The pot is then divided to form a side pot where that player(s) have no interest in for the rest of play unless they acquire more chips.

If you enjoy variety and fast paced action, you will love the new Full Tilt 7 game poker mix. You will only find this mix at Full Tilt – so if you haven’t registered for a free account with Full Tilt, now is the time to do so.
