During the start of the game, atleast four cards of each player should be kept faced down.

A player can share five community cards. These cards are kept in the center of the table. To begin with, three community cards are combined with, any two cards out of the four kept faced down, and these combination of 5 hands forms a players complete hand.

In order to qualify for the bottom half of the pot, a five-card hand has to be formed. The value of the 5 cards forming the hand should be different, but between Ace and eight (Ace is the lowest value).

The two blind bets, the smaller and the bigger one, are placed in the pot by the two players who are sitting at the immediate left of the dealer.

The real game actually begins now. The player to the left of the big blind has three options now: folding, calling, or raising. This is just the first round of betting and the play actually continues till all the players either folds, calls or raises.

In the second round of betting, three cards are dealt face-up in the center of the table (Flop). From now one for all the other rounds of betting, the player sitting on the left of the dealer is the first one to play. If there is no betting in front of them, a player may now check or bet only. But if there is betting and/or raising, they may either call, raise, or fold.

After the ‘flop' action, another card is dealt face-up (Turn). And the third betting round begins. Moreover, in this round, the size of the bet doubles. Again, the betting commences with the player on the left of the dealer.

Once this is over, the dealer flips the final community card over (River). This is the final round of betting.

After the completion of the final round, the best hand automatically wins half the pot.

To win the bottom half of the pot, however, one has to be eligible.

However, when you are qualifying for Low, straights and flushes don't count against you.

All players are allowed to use different cards in their hands for the High and Low side. Even the same cards for both the High and Low sides can be used.

In case of a tie between two or more players, they will split that half equally.
