Quartered refers to holding four identical cards in stud poker.
Explanation. In stud games, if four of the five total cards are the same rank (e.g. 7‑7‑7‑7‑X), your hand is “quartered.” The name comes from having four quarters of the same rank. It’s mathematically rare and in most formats treated as a four-of-a-kind. Understanding rare cases like quartered is useful for complex stud variants.
