Six Plus Hold'em No Limit Debuts Online This Monday

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):

1. High card
2. Pair
3. Two Pair
4. Straight (low straight is A6789 and a high straight can still be made normally)
5. 3 of a Kind
6. Full House
7. Flush
8. 4 of a kind
9. Straight Flush
10. 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.
