Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Split with a Qualifier is a game in which the highest hand is awarded half the pot and the lowest hand is awarded the other half of the pot.

In Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Split with a Qualifier, as played in Online Poker, the game is played with the "Cards Speak" rule, as opposed to with the "Declare" rule. This means that the Winning Hand is decided by the cards that a Player holds. Furthermore, the use of a Qualifier ensures that the Lowest Hand must qualify an Eight-Low or Better, in order to be counted as a Low Hand.

A result of this is that in Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Split with a Qualifier, most pots are split amongst two Players, with one player receiving the High Share and the other the Low Share. It is very desirable for players to win the Whole Share of the Pot.

Certain slang has evolved which is commonly used by Players of Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Split with a Qualifier. One frequently used term is "Quarter", which refers to a player winning half of either the High Share of the Low Share of the Pot.

Another example of Slang in Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Split with a Qualifier is "Scoop". This refers to when players win both the High Share and the Low Share of the pot. It has been known for excitable Internet Players who win a whole a pot to type this particular piece of slang in the Chat Box after winning the Whole Pot. The particularly overzealous ones have even been known to captalise the Whole Word and endeavour to elongate the sound by adding extra "O"s. This phenomenon is a recent trend in the Online Poker Community and one should not seek to emulate it unless they strive for coarseness or vulgarity.

N.B. I have no idea why I did that.
