Declaration ( poker )


1) Verbal showdown. If prior to showing your cards you say, "I have a full house," that statement is a declaration.

2) In a high-low split game, using chips or voice to indicate whether you're going for high, low, or both.
Such a declaration is usually done after all the betting is over, and is either consecutive or sequential.
This is not common in public card rooms, where high-low split
games are usually played in what is called cards speak.
