Seven Card Stud high-low split (8 or better) is a stud format game which is played high and low. A qualifier of 8 or better for low applies to all split games, unless a specific posting to the contrary is displayed. The low card imitates the action on the first round with an ace counting as a high card for this purpose.

On subsequent rounds, the high hand initiates the action. If the high hand is tied, the first player clockwise from the dealer acts first. Fixed-limit games use the lower limit on third and fourth streets and the upper limit on subsequent rounds. An open pair does not affect the limit. Aces may be used for high or low.

Straights and flushes do not affect the value of a low hand. A player may use any five cards to make the best high hand, and the same or any other grouping of their five cards to make the best low hand.

These are basic guidelines for play and do not guarantee a win on the Ocean Jewel.
