California High / Low Split Draw Poker

California High / Low Split draw poker is played as a standard draw poker game with a single joker, used as a bug.  High hand and low hand (using the ace-to-five low values) split the pot.  An 8-high or better low is required to win low.  If no poker hand qualifies low, high hand takes the whole pot.  Played cards speak, that is, players do not declare whether they intend to win the high or low half of the pot (or both); they simply show their cards and the best poker hands win.  Because ace-to-five low values are used, a poker hand such as a low straight or flush can win both high and low, called scooping or hogging the pot.
