Most poker games are played in the traditional manner where the winner is one who has the best possible hand in the game and he gets the entire pot all by himself. However, in lowball variation of the game, the player who has the lowest hand is the winner and he also wins the whole pot without any need of sharing or splitting. But in those games which are played with high/low split variation, the pot gets shared between two players, where one player with the best high hand wins one half and another player with the best low hand wins the other half of the pot. There are some exception to the split rule in such games. So, when the same player has both the highest and the lowest hand, he scoops the entire pot. Also, if a player wishes to contest for both high and low hand play and declares to do so and fails to follow it up, then either the second best player wins all or if the player wins the high and ties or loses the low, then the low hand winner scoops the pot.

The most frequent way of playing high/low split poker games is either by the declaration method or by the cads speak rule. If a game is being played where players need to declare their intention, either a verbal announcement is made or players express their wish of play choice by using markers, whereby zero means playing for low hand, one means playing for high hand and two means playing for swing, that is both hands. The person who declared to play for low and has the lowest hand wins the bottom half and he who was contesting for high and had the highest hand wins the top half of the pot. In cards speak rule, players simply reveal their cards during showdown and he with the best high hand and he with the bets low hand split the pot equally between themselves.
