This split pot game is played with four face down cards and five common cards. There are four rounds of betting.
The player with the best high hand wins half the pot, and the player with the best low hand wins the other half. Two face down cards and three common cards must be used to form the hand.

Action proceeds in a clockwise rotation.

Before the facedown cards are dealt, the first two players sitting on the left of the dealer have to make two forced bets (blinds). The first player makes the small blind, and the second player makes the big blind.

The game starts and each player is dealt four face down cards.  Subsequently the five common cards are dealt: first three (also known as the Flop), then one (Forth Street) then the last common card is dealt (River).
A round of betting follows each deal.

Each player must act on each betting round and make one of the following decisions:

Fold (Fold)– Abandon the game
Bet (Bet)– Bet
Call (Call)– Follow the bet of the previous player
Raise (Raise)– Increase the stake of the previous bet
Check (Check)– Neither bet nor fold (only if no action was taken before)

At the end of the four betting rounds the best hand automatically wins half the pot. To qualify for low, the hand cannot include cards higher than 8 or any pairs. Aces can be used for both high and low. When comparing low hands, the winner is the hand with the lowest high card, thus 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 is better than Ace, 2, 3, 4, 8. The best possible low hand is Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Straights and flushes do NOT count to win the low part of the pot.

In the event that no hand qualifies for low, the best hand wins the entire pot.

You are permitted to use different cards or the same cards for both the high and low hands.

In the event of identical hands, the high and low shares of the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands.
