In such scenarios the hand is deemed a tie and pot is divided up evenly. While most ties occur between two players, it is possible for three or more players to tie for a single pot. Commonly used alternative words for tie include split and chop .In Texas Hold'em poker (the most popular game, currently) suits do not matter. One ace high flush is equivalent to another, the suit is irrelevant. In some forms of poker (7-card stud, for example), the lowest card must open the betting round. In the first round, the lowest up card determines who goes first.
