This game is played in the identical manner as 7-Card Stud High-Low, however, there is a 'Low' hand 'qualifier' of '8 or Better' in place. However all raises must be equal to or greater than the previous bet or raise, without exceeding the maximum dollar limit for that game. On the first betting round of a 'spread limit' game, any player, including the player required to make the force bet, may bet any amount within the limits at any time. In a structured game, if there is an open pair on the fourth card, any active player has the option of making a bet or raise at the higher limit. Once the structured bet has been made, all calls and/or raises must be made by the structured bet amount. On the first betting round of a 'structured limit' game, any player, including the player required to make the force bet, may bet either the force amount or the lower structured amount for that betting round. If there is a tie in determining the highest ranking hand, the player with the tied hand sitting closest to the left of the Dealer, must start the action for that betting round. After the initial betting round, action is started by the player whose up cards form the highest ranking hand. A final down card is then dealt followed by the last betting round. Generally, players will post their 'antes' prior to each being dealt two (2) down cards and one (1) up card each followed by the initial round of betting, which is started with a 'force bet.' The initial betting round is followed by three (3) additional up cards being dealt one (1) at a time, with a betting round following each one.
