Some players use the more nimble tips of the fingers to play fast-moving solo passages or to pluck lightly for quiet tunes.

High-low split games are those in which the pot is divided between the player with the best traditional hand ( called the high hand ) and the player with the low hand.

In a declaration game, each player declares ( either verbally or using markers such as chips ) whether he wishes to contest for the high hand or the low hand.

Especially when using the ace-to-five low method, it is possible for one player to have both the low hand and the high hand, and therefore win all of the pot ( called " scooping ," " hogging " the pot, or " going pig ").

In the event more than one player ties for either high or low, the pot can be further split into quarters or smaller fractions.

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.

For example, a player on a DSL connection with a 50 ms " ping " will be able to react faster to game events than a modem user with 350 ms average latency.

On the other hand, online games are more sensitive to latency since fast response times to new events occurring during a game session are rewarded while slow response times may carry penalties ( for instance in a first person shooter a slow response time may leave a player in the line of fire for longer periods of time ).
