Antes, the Deal, and the Betting Structure

Before the cards are dealt each player posts an ante, which is a fraction of a bet -just like in traditional Seven-Card Stud. Antes seed the pot and stimu- late action.
Players are then dealt two cards face down, along with one face up. The lowest exposed card is required to make a small bet of a predetermined denomination. This bet (and the person making that bet) is called the bring- in. If two or more players have an exposed card of the same rank, then the alphabetical order of suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades) determines the bring-in.
If Ron has the 2+ and Amber the 24, Amber would be required to bring it in based on the order of suits. While an ace can be used as both a high card and a low card in this game, for purposes of establishing the bring-in, an ace is considered to be high, and Amber's 2 4 is the lowest card in the deck. The player to the immediate left of the bring-in has three options. He may fold his hand, call the bring-in, or raise to a full bet. In a $20-$40 game, the antes are usually $3 and the bring-in is $5. The player to the left of the bring- in can either fold, call the $5 bring-in bet, or raise to $20 - which constitutes a full bet.
If he folds or calls the bring-in, the player to his immediate left has the same options. Once someone raises to a full bet, subsequent players must do one of the following: fold, call the full bet, or raise again.
Once betting has been equalized, a second card is dealt face up, and another round of betting ensues. This time, however, it is in increments of full bets. The player with the highest-ranking board cards acts first.
If there are two high cards of the same rank, the order of the suit determines who acts first. The highest suit is spades, followed by hearts, then diamonds, and finally, clubs.
