Division of the pot when more than one player calls high-low. If two or more players call high-low, the division of the pot may be complex. This is the only case in which a high-low declarant can share in the pot even if he loses in one direction. This rule is not universal, but I strongly recommend it.

1. If one of the high-low declarants wins in both directions, or wins in one direction and ties in the other, or ties in both directions, the pot is divided as if his were the only high-low declaration (see previous section) except that another player who called high-low and lost in one direction may not share in the pot.

2. If each high-low declarant loses in at least one direction, and one or both directions are won by one-way declarants, none of the high-low declarants shares in the pot. However, a player who called one direction and lost to a high-low declarant in that direction may not share in the pot either. Example: A and B call high-low; C calls high; D calls low. C has the highest hand, B has the lowest hand. C wins the entire pot.

3. If each of the high-low declarants loses in at least one direction, but neither direction is won by a one-way declarant, the pot is divided as in "cards speak." Example: A and B call high-low; C calls high; D calls low. A has the highest hand, B has the lowest hand. A and B share equally in the pot.

Side Pots. Side pots are settled separately among the players with equity in the side money. However, unless the game decides otherwise (and provides special equipment), a player may make only one declaration, and that declaration holds for both the main pot and any side pots in which he may be involved.
