* /Ace-to-six low: Aces are low and straights and flushes do count (as high), so the best possible hand is 6-5-4-3-A. (shouldn't that be 6-4-3-2-A?) |

Some games are played /High-low split, where the player with the best traditional poker hand (called the /High hand) splits the pot with the best low hand (by one of the methods above). Low hands tie more frequently than high hands, especially in /Community card games, so it is not uncommon for such a hand to win a small fraction of a poker pot. For example, if one player has the high hand on /Showdown, and two other players tie for the best low hand, the high hand wins half of the pot and each low hand wins only a quarter of the pot.
