What are the split pot poker rules and how do they determine the distribution of winnings in a game?

In split pot Poker, players can win a portion of the pot by having the best hand for one half of the pot, or by tying for the best hand with another player for the other half. The distribution of winnings is determined by dividing the pot equally between the players with the best hands, or by dividing it proportionally based on the strength of each tied hand.
