Definition:
If a game is played High-Low or Hi/Lo, instead of the highest hand winning the whole pot, the high hand splits the pot with the low hand.
Many hi/lo games are played "8 or better" which means for a hand to qualify as a low, it can't have any card higher than 8 in it.

Some people prefer regular 7-card stud, but I like playing it hi/lo -- being able to win two different ways and split pots are fun.
