Game Overview

7/30 is a card game inspired by poker, played with a standard 52-card deck and up to 9 players per table, in either tournament or cash game format.

Setup

Each player receives 3 private cards and aims to form the best 6-card hand by combining them with 3 community cards revealed throughout the round. Unlike Texas Hold'em, all 6 cards are used — there is no "best 5 of 7" selection.

Betting Structure

The betting system is split into four phases:

Pre-Flop

After receiving private cards, players bet before any community cards are revealed.

Flop

First community card is revealed, followed by betting.

Turn

Second community card is revealed, followed by betting.

River

Third community card is revealed, followed by final betting.

Pot Distribution

In each phase, part of the pot (30%) is awarded to the player with the best hand at that moment ("moment winner"), while the rest (70%) builds toward the final winner ("overall winner").

Hand Rankings

7/30 features 17 unique hand rankings. "Super" hands use all 6 cards. "Combo" hands combine standard hands (e.g., Flush+Pair).

  1. Rank 1/17 · Super Straight Flush

    6-CARD
    A♥K♥Q♥J♥10♥9♥

    Six consecutive cards, all the same suit. The perfect 7/30 hand — every card locked into one suited run.

  2. Rank 2/17 · Straight Flush

    9♠8♠7♠6♠5♠2♥

    Five consecutive cards of the same suit; the sixth card doesn't extend the run.

  3. Rank 3/17 · Super Flush

    6-CARD
    A♦J♦9♦7♦4♦2♦

    All six cards in the same suit. A flush where the sixth card doubles down instead of sitting out.

  4. Rank 4/17 · Super Straight

    6-CARD
    10♠9♥8♦7♣6♠5♥

    Six consecutive cards of any suits — all six join the run, not just five.

  5. Rank 5/17 · Four of a Kind + Pair

    6-CARD
    K♠K♥K♦K♣8♠8♥

    Quads plus a pair — the two leftover cards match each other instead of being dead weight.

  6. Rank 6/17 · Four of a Kind

    A♠A♥A♦A♣9♠5♥

    Four cards of the same rank, with two unmatched kickers.

  7. Rank 7/17 · Double Three of a Kind

    6-CARD
    Q♠Q♥Q♦7♣7♠7♥

    Two separate sets of trips — only possible with six cards.

  8. Rank 8/17 · Three Pairs

    6-CARD
    J♠J♥8♦8♣4♠4♥

    Three different pairs. A 7/30 signature — in five-card poker a third pair cannot fit.

  9. Rank 9/17 · Full House

    10♠10♥10♦6♣6♠3♥

    Three of a kind plus a pair, with one kicker left over.

  10. Rank 10/17 · Flush + Pair

    6-CARD
    A♣J♣8♣5♣3♣8♥

    Five cards of one suit plus a pair — the sixth card pairs one of your flush cards.

  11. Rank 11/17 · Flush

    K♠10♠7♠4♠2♠9♥

    Five cards of the same suit; the sixth is unrelated.

  12. Rank 12/17 · Straight + Pair

    6-CARD
    8♠7♥6♦5♣4♠7♦

    Five consecutive cards plus a pair — the sixth card pairs one card inside the straight.

  13. Rank 13/17 · Straight

    J♠10♥9♦8♣7♠2♥

    Five consecutive cards of mixed suits.

  14. Rank 14/17 · Three of a Kind

    9♠9♥9♦K♣6♠2♥

    Three cards of the same rank plus three kickers.

  15. Rank 15/17 · Two Pair

    A♠A♥5♦5♣K♠8♥

    Two different pairs plus two kickers.

  16. Rank 16/17 · One Pair

    Q♠Q♥A♦9♣6♠3♥

    A single pair — often enough to steal an early moment pot.

  17. Rank 17/17 · High Card

    A♠J♥9♦7♣4♠2♥

    No matching ranks or suits — the highest card speaks.

6-CARD Impossible in 5-card poker — this hand only exists because all six of your cards play.
