Declaration poker
1) Verbal showdown. If prior to showing your cards you say,
"I have a full house," that statement is a declaration.
2) In a high-low split game, using chips or voice to indicate
whether you're going for high, low, or both. Such a declaration
is usually done after all the betting is over, and is either
consecutive or sequential. This is not common in public card
rooms, where high-low split
games are usually played in what is called cards speak.
