Stud 9

Anyone know the rules to this game? I know it involves 4 down cards with discarding at some point.

Re: Stud 9

We play 6 card stud, 9 or better for lo in a home game.. One less card , but one higher option for lo hand.

1 down , 1 up, to start, than 1 up, 1up, 1up, 1 down.. You end up with 2 down cards, and 4 facing up.

Having that one less card , makes lo hands a hell of a lot stronger...

Re: Stud 9

I'd think low hands would go down in value. You're only allowed one brick then after that you can't even make one. You also never get the multiple streets of free-rolling like you do in 7-card. It's an easier qualifier of course but I still think I'd like my high hands better in this version than in traditional. You absolutely do not want to play a (2-card) razz hand very often at all I wouldn't think. Even the nut low starter in this game (A2s) has to be in pretty bad shape against a good high I'd think.
