STUD 8 OR BETTER RULES.
  The rules of Stud 8 Or Better are quite similar to Seven Card Stud rules . The differences can be seen at the end of the game when the pot may be split between the high hand and the low hand, of course if there is one.
Qualifying low hands consist of five cards with different numerical values from Ace to 8. The best low hand is A, 2, 3, 4, 5 - straights and flushes do not count against a low hand. Still it may be disqualified by pair.
And though a low hand sometimes is not qualified the high hand does always exist.
