Each rotating betting round is preceded by all players turning over the top cards from both of their hands. High and low hands split the pot. This game allows you a good chance at winning, even if you were dealt a bad hand. Players will often "throw off" the high hand to make a better low hand. This can be done by breaking up pairs or a flush. The best low hand consists of 2,3,4,5,7.
