#11 HORSE
Stud Hi-Lo
An interesting scenario occurred on Table 1, where Warren Jones was dealt his 7th Street card face up. The hand was heads-up by that stage and the ruling was that the other player should also receive his card face-up and action then continues as normal.
Jon the TD mentioned that this was the ruling because they are heads-up, so I pulled him aside to ask if it would be different if there were more than two players involved. He explained that the heads-up scenario is just a case of equalising the players" situations, but if there are more players involved, they all receive their final card face down as normal. The player who received the face-up card is then first to act, irrespective of cards showing, and he has the option to go all-in, even though it"s a limit game and even if it exceeds the cap. If he goes all-in for an amount that is less than the cap, other players may re-raise, but only to the cap. If his all-in exceeds the cap, other players may only call. He can also make a normal bet or check. If he does, betting then continues as normal and he no longer has the all-in option if the betting comes back to him. Isn"t that interesting?
Jon knows everything.
