Lowe-Mac

Seven-card high · pot match
Stud

Seven-card high poker — two down and five up — with one wicked twist: the first player to pair the board must match the pot, then bet up to it to run the table off. A second pair owes double.

Lowe-Mac Raz

Seven-card low · pot match
Stud

The low sibling of Lowe-Mac: seven-card razz where the lowest five wins (5-4-3-2-A is the nuts). Show two different low cards and match the pot; the next low-card milestone doubles it.

Chicago

High-Spade split
Stud

Standard 7-card stud, but the highest spade in the hole splits the pot with the best hand. Two ways to win.

Black Mariah

Black Maria
Stud

7-card stud where the queen of spades showing kills the pot and forces a redeal. Tense, dramatic, table-shaking.

Roll Your Own

Low Hole / Mexican Stud
