Miguel called a round of Seven-Card Stud Roll Your Own. In this game, players determine which cards will be their up cards, and which cards will be their hole cards. Initially each player receives three down cards. On the dealer’s signal, each player flips one of his cards up, constituting his first up card. After a betting round, each player receives another down card. Once again on the dealer’s signal, each player flips up one of his three down cards, constituting his second up card. This continues until each player has four up cards. The seventh card is then dealt down and stays down. The game plays according to standard Seven-Card Stud rules.
Because players determine which up cards they’re going to reveal, they are able to disguise the strength of their hands better than they could in regular Seven-Card Stud.
On one hand, it came down to just Jason and Miguel. Neither one was showing much on the river; just king-high for each of them. But again, in this game, it’s easy for players to disguise their hands.
Jason, who had been betting each street, bet again.
Miguel said, “I’m going to call to keep you honest.”
Jason said, “Good call,” and turned over only king-high.
Miguel then turned over his cards. He also only had king-high. But he had Jason out-kicked.
Miguel had called with just king-high, and he scooped a modest pot.
