Americas Cardroom has announced the addition of Six Plus Hold'em No Limit, which debuts this Monday September 10, 2018.
Six Plus Holdem No Limit is a variation of Texas Holdem that uses fewer cards. The gameplay is the nearly the same except the 2s, 3s, 4, and 5s fare removed from the deck. There are also a couple of changes in the hand ranking order.
Short Deck Hand Ranking (ranked lowest to highest):
- High card
- Pair
- Two Pair
- Straight (low straight is A6789 and a high straight can still be made normally)
- 3 of a Kind
- Full House
- Flush
- 4 of a kind
- Straight Flush
- Royal Flush
With this variation, the 3 of a Kind beats the Straight and a flush beats a full house.
The fewer cards make for stronger hands possibilities and a more action-packed game.
