Available exclusively at PokerStars 6+ Holdâem is your chance to play an action-packed variant loved by high-stakes players around the 1ïžâŁ world.
All 6+ Holdâem games use a 36-card deck (with all cards lower than a 6 removed), which is shuffled before 1ïžâŁ every hand is dealt. Games also use a 'button blind' structure: every player posts an ante, and the player seated 1ïžâŁ at the button position is the only one who posts a blind â meaning there is only one blind per 1ïžâŁ hand, rather than traditional small/big blind format.
The action starts with the player seated to the left of the button. Each 1ïžâŁ hand then plays out according to Texas Holdâem rules, with pre-flop, flop, turn and river betting rounds.
If youâve played Texas 1ïžâŁ Holdâem games before, the rules of 6+ Holdâem are easy to follow.
But donât forget: contrary to regular Texas Hold'em games, 1ïžâŁ in 6+ Holdâem a flush beats a full-house. A five-card hand consisting of Ace, 6, 7, 8, 9 (any suit) 1ïžâŁ is also deemed a straight. All other hand rankings remain the same.
