Early Bet ( poker )


The first bet in a stud game, often set artificially low, that is, lower than the normal betting limits for the game,
and often a forced bet, one made by, for example, in seven-card stud, the lowest face-up card showing.
In a $2-$4 game, the lowest face-up card on the first round (at the point that two face-down cards and one
face-up card have been dealt) might be required to make a 50-cent early bet. Sometimes called bring-in bet.
