Hi-Lo ( poker )



Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball 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 vary - see low. 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.
