In later rounds, the high hand can either bet or check. The initial bet size is at the discretion of the opener and can usually be as small as one ante, or up to the maximum bet size allowed in the form used, that is, half the total antes in half-pot, the total antes in full-pot and as much as you wish in no-limit. Limit Betting Structures There is an ante, a compulsory bring-in from the low card, and bets typically double for the last two rounds, though this can be varied according to player's tastes.
The bets are usually capped at three per round, except in head-to-head pots. Low ante games: Ante, one unit; bring-in, two units, complete, 10 units.

If the high hand is tied, the first player clockwise from the dealer acts first.
Fixed-limit games use the lower limit on third and fourth street and the upper limit on subsequent betting rounds, and an open pair does not affect the limit.
Aces can be used for high or low. Straights and flushes do not affect the low value of a hand.

When there is an odd chip in a pot, the chip goes to the high hand. If two players split the pot by tying for both the high and the low, the pot shall be split as evenly as possible, and the player with the highest card by suit receives the odd chip.
When making this determination, all cards are used, not just the five cards used for the final hand played. When there is one odd chip in the high portion of the pot and two or more high hands split all or half the pot, the odd chip goes to the player with the high card by suit.
