It is possible that there will not be enough cards if all eight players make it to the end of the game, especially if the dealer burns (discards) a card prior to dealing to the active players. Up to eight players may play in a 7-Card Stud game. Set limit means that there's a preset limit to how much you can bet, and pot limit means that you can bet as much money as there is in the pot at any given time. 7-Card Stud is also played at both set limit and pot (the pot is the total amount that has been bet in a single game) limit. The discussion in this article will center on the high-only version. 7-Card Stud is played both high only (meaning the highest hand wins) and high-low/hi-lo (meaning that the highest hand splits the winnings with the lowest hand).
