RULES
Six Plus Hold’em is a variant of Texas Hold‘em that uses a short deck. Instead of the standard 52 card deck, all cards with the values of 2, 3, 4, 5 ( 4 deuces, 4 treys, 4 fours, and 4 fives) are removed from the deck, resulting in a 36 card deck, where the lowest card is 6 and the highest A.
Six Plus Hold’em follows the same game logic and betting structure as the classic Texas Hold’em. The only exception comes in the hand rankings.
Note that the aces can still be used for the high straight (AKQJT) as well as for the low straight. This means, that in Six Plus Hold’em, the hand A6789 is equivalent to the A2345 hand in classic Texas Hold’em, which is the weakest straight in both game types.
Six Plus Hold’em has a slightly different hand ranking from the classic Texas Hold’em:
- Royal Flush
- Straight flush
- Four of a kind
- Flush
- Full house
- Three of a kind
- Straight
- Two pair
- One pair
- High card
The two major differences are that Three of a kind now beats a Straight, and Flush beats a Full house. This is implemented to make up for the changed probabilities of hitting, due to the reduced deck as compared to classic Hold’em game with 52 cards.
