Short Deck (also known as 6+ Hold’em) is a variant of Hold’em where players are dealt two hole cards with five community cards on the table. The object of the game is to make the best five card hand. The name Short Deck is given because the game uses a 36 card deck with only cards ranked 6 and above remaining.
This game which originated in Asia has gained much popularity in the last few years and is popular amongst the high stakes players due to its high variance. With the deck stripped down, the game becomes quicker in pace and more brutal. Some would even argue that Short Deck is a more fun variation compared to regular Hold’em.

Los jugadores hacen manos usando una o ambas cartas de inicio y las cinco cartas comunitarias para hacer la mejor mano, en Short Deck,
El color vence al full house
A-6-7-8-9 es una escalera (el As juega arriba o abajo, entonces 10-J-Q-K-A también es una escalera)
A-6-7-8-9 del mismo palo es una escalera de color
Al igual que All in o Fold, los jugadores pueden retirar fichas de la mesa una vez que crean un stack lo suficientemente grande. En Short Deck, las fichas que superan el botón de 100 ciegas pueden eliminarse
En un juego ante de $1, el ante es de $1 y el botón ciego adicional es de $1:
Los jugadores tienen la opción de retirarse, igualar $1 o hacer un aumento pre-flop (mínimo $2).
The rules of the game are very similar to Texas Hold’em with just a few key differences. So it’s safe to say that it’s an easy game to pick up if you haven’t tried it but are familiar with the classic Texas Hold’em.
All the 2's, 3's, 4's and 5's cards are removed, so the deck only has 36 cards instead of the usual 52. Since there are fewer cards in the deck, the chances of being dealt pocket Aces, or any pocket pairs for that matter, are twice as high. This also means that hands such as top pair and top kicker have a much lower value.
With the smaller deck comes different odds and possibilities and the hand rankings in Short Deck poker are different because of the removal of every card two through five. Unlike in a traditional poker game, players will find it harder to flop flush draws in this variant, and the chances of hitting one are even lesser. Therefore, a Flush beats a Full House in Short Deck.
Another odd difference that might take a bit of getting used to is the Ace card. Similar to Texas Hold’em, the Ace card plays both high and low but in Short Deck it would look slight different. A low straight would be A-6-7-8-9.

While Texas Hold’em is played with blinds, Short Deck (6+) Hold’em is mostly played using antes. At each round, everybody at the table posts one ante, while the player in the Dealer position posts an additional ante (so two antes in total).
The short deck has changed the game of Hold’em and may be challenging as it may test your knowledge on Hold’em Poker odds.
Players will have more playable starting hands as the two hole cards have a higher chance of being paired or connected. Pocket Aces, or any pocket pairs, will come along twice as often. Gone are the days of disconnected hands like 2♠ 8♥ or 5♣ Q♦. With more playable hands, there will definitely be more action and players will be involved in more multiway pots.
In Short Deck, players will also find themselves drawing a straight more often. The probability of flopping an open-ended straight draw goes up to 19% in Short Deck as compared to 10% in a full-deck game.
And with less cards in the deck, players will find themselves hitting their outs more often. The chances of hitting an open-ended straight draw by the river increases to 45.5% as compared to just 31.5% with a full deck.
Pocket pairs have about a 17% chance of hitting a set on the flop as compared to 12% in a regular Hold’em game with a full deck.
Players will find it harder to flop a flush draw and the chances of hitting one becomes even less. Players who flop a flush draw will only have 5 outs and a 30% chance of hitting the flush by the time it gets to the river, compared to the 9 outs and a 35% chance in a regular full deck game. If a player misses the flush on the turn, the odds drops to 16.6% of hitting the flush on the river. In a regular full deck game of Hold’em, the odds at the river would be 19.5%.
Some players might find it difficult to switch to Short Deck Hold’em because of the mathematical differences. The strategy will differ from a No-Limit Hold’em and this may be difficult to get used to. Here are some basic tips for players who are looking to try a hand at Short Deck Hold’em.
Flushes and Three-of-a-kinds are more rare in Short Deck, making them more valuable. Therefore, having suited hole cards and pocket pairs becomes more valuable.
Do some quick mental math to estimate your chances of hitting a draw. To do this, multiply the number of outs by 6 on the flop, and 3 on the turn. For example, if you have a 8-out straight draw on the flop, multiply 8 with 6 and you’ll have roughly a 48% chance of hitting the straight by the river. And if you have a 6-out straight draw on the turn, multiply 6 with 3 and you’ll get a 18% of hitting the straight on the river. If you’re new to the game and are still trying to get used to the short deck odds then this rule can be a stack saver.
Short Deck Hold’em might have less cards to draw from and the odds may be drastically different, but it doesn’t mean you should disregard the basic strategies of Texas Hold’em. Betting strategies still apply even though the ranges are different. Your knowledge and understanding of basic Hold’em strategy is still your strongest asset.
Short Deck Hold’em is relatively new compared to traditional Hold’em. Compared to No-Limit Hold’em, Short Deck Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha has slowly become favourites for high rollers and those who love action. So give it a go and don’t forget to put the tips to good use
