6+ Poker

6+ Poker, also known as ‘Short-Deck Hold'em’, closely resembles the popular Texas Hold'em.

In this game, two sides compete: the Player and the Dealer.

Each side aims to form the best five-card poker hand from a combination of seven cards—five community cards and two dealt to the player.

With a deck of 36 cards, 6+ Poker excludes twos, threes, fours, and fives, altering the probabilities of card combinations and hand rankings.

Notable rule changes include a flush ranking higher than a full house and a three of a kind beating a straight.

Similar to traditional poker, aces are the highest cards, capable of forming both low and high straights; for instance, the lowest straight is (A-6-7-8-9), and the highest is (10-J-Q-K-A).

FEATURES

Player receives two (2) face-up cards and Dealer hand receives two (2) face-down cards. The Board is dealt face-up. Once all cards are dealt, the dealer‘s cards are revealed. 

The goal of the game is to form the best five card combination using both hand (player or dealer) cards and the ‘community’ board. The side with the highest combination wins.

Tie is possible in the game if both sides have the same combination. In this case, winnings are paid to all players who placed bets on the split.
