Six-plus hold 'em (also known 馃捇 as short-deck hold 'em and Manila) is a community card poker game variant of Texas hold 'em, where the 2 馃捇 through 5 cards are removed from the deck. Each player is dealt two cards face down and seeks to make 馃捇 the best five card poker hand from any combination of the seven cards (five community cards and their own two 馃捇 hole cards).[1]
Rules [ edit ]
The rules in terms of betting structures, play of the hand, and showdown are the same 馃捇 as in Texas hold 'em. However, before play begins all cards 2 through 5 are removed (16 cards), thus the 馃捇 total number of cards in the deck is 36. Aces are high, but same as in Texas hold 'em, can 馃捇 make both low and high end of straights. For example, the lowest straight would be (9x-8x-7x-6x-Ax) and the highest (Ax-Kx-Qx-Jx-10x). 馃捇 This changes the probability of hands and alters hand rankings.[2]
