Krogering

also called low hold

Seven-card stud, but your lowest down card is wild — and so is every other card of that rank in your hand. Catch a lower one on the last card and the whole hand rearranges itself.

The deal

  1. Two down, then one up. Bet.
  2. Three more up, a bet after each.
  3. Last card down. Final bet.
  4. Name your low hole card at showdown, not before. Best five of seven takes it.

House notes

Aces are high, so an ace in the hole is worth nothing wild. Declare before the cards are read, or the hand plays as dealt.
