Each player receives 2 cards down and one card up.
The betting is just the same as it is in 7-card stud except all queens and any card after a queen on a player’s board is wild.
Here’s an example. The player to your right gets dealt a Queen and you get dealt a 4. At this time queens and all fours are wild. If on any following streets or the same street another queen comes on someone's board the following card is wild, but queens are always wild. However, if the last card dealt on 6th street is a queen, then only queens are wild because there are no more up cards to be dealt. Hence the name "Follow the Queen".
High hand takes the pot!
One of the best pieces of advice we can give you about betting is to bet with your head, not over it. This is the slogan for Gamblers Anonymous, and it couldn't be truer.
