As an example, let's think of a $10/$20 seven-card stud game with an ante of $1 and a bring-in of $5.Įach player wanting to be dealt in to receive a hand would have to post the $1 ante, creating a pot worth competing for.
While the blinds are the forced bets in Texas hold'em and Omaha poker, antes are the forced bets placed by every player before receiving any cards. The hand rankings are identical to those in Texas hold'em or Omaha a royal flush is the best possible hand and the worst hand is the high card hand (no pair). From these seven cards the player has to choose his best five-card combination. Each player gets dealt a total of seven cards, of which three are dealt face down and four are dealt face up.
