The dealers choice games my group plays has several high low declare variants. Omaha variations we do not declare and just have cards speak. One issue that many of our group disagrees on is when more than 2 players reach the declare and someone goes both. We play if you go both of course you have to win both.
Example:
Player A goes low and has a 6,4,3,2,1 (I will discuss in another thread our groups disagreement on the perfect low)
Player B goes high and has a King high straight.
Player C goes both and has the same low as Player A 6,4,3,2,1 and has a flush for high.
One school of thought is that because Player C did not win both, his hand is disqualified and Player A and B split the pot.
A second school says that Player C did not win the low, but still had the best high hand so Player A scoops the pot.
