Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball hand.
games where half the pot goes to the highest ranking poker hand and half goes to the lowest ranking poker hand
In high-low split games, half the pot goes to the best hand (the high), half to the worst (the low). The criteria for deciding the low varies. Split games are also often played with a qualifier that the low hand must be "8 or better." This means that the low hand must have five unpaired cards 8 or lower. Omaha and Seven Card Stud are the most popular high-low split games. Note that if there is a sole winner of one pot and a tie for the other, the sole winner wins half the pot while the other half is split evenly among the tied hands.
