Sixth Street

Sixth street is the fourth up card in seven-card stud, the sixth card dealt to a player, and the round of betting that follows it. It is the fourth betting round.

The simple explanation

In seven-card stud, a player gets two cards down and one up, then up cards on fourth, fifth and sixth street, and the last card is face down. The bets on sixth street are large in limit games.

A closer look

On sixth street, you already know much about the hands of others, since most of their cards are face up. Draws that did not come in are often given up. After sixth street, there is one more card, on seventh street, and the last round of betting. In fixed-limit stud, the bets are already at the big-bet size on this street.

A practical example

A stud player has K♥ K♦ down and 7♣ J♦ 9♠ 2♥ up after sixth street, with one card left to come.
