The Consecutive Declaration (which I do not recommend). Prior to the showdown in all High-Low games, the player who made the last aggressive move (raised or bet first on the final betting round) declares first. If everyone checked on the final round, the high hand showing must declare first. Declarations then proceed in clockwise rotation from one active player to another. In all the High-Low Draw Texas Hold'em Poker games, should all players check on the last round, the last aggressive player in the preceding round or rounds must declare first.

It is a sad but true fact that this consecutive method spoils the entire game. It is a great advantage to call last, or near the end of the declaration, because very often a player with good position is able to win half of the pot with a very weak hand because all others have declared in one direction. Such a position is called being in the driver's seat.
