Stud poker game is common (and recommended) for later on betting rounds to have higher limits than former ones. For instance, a "$5/$10 Seven Stud poker" game in a Nevada casino permits $5 bets for the initial two rounds and $10 bets for following rounds. Also general is to create the last round even higher: a "$5/$10/$20" game would let $20 bets on the final round only. One more general rule is to permit the bigger bet on the second round if there is an "open pair" (that is, at least one player's up cards create a pair). A few casinos (naturally in California) apply the lesser limit on the initial three rounds fairly than just the first two. It is a general convention in stud poker to name the betting rounds subsequent to the number of cards every player holds while that betting round starts. So the bet that takes place while every player has three cards is named "third card" or "Third Street", while the bet that takes place while every player has five cards is "fifth street". The last round, in spite of the number of betting rounds, is generally named the "river" or just the "end".
