30sWait for players before the first hand

Each table waits 30 seconds for players after the first one sits down, then AI opponents fill any empty seats. Don't want to wait? Skip it and AI opponents take the empty seats (with other players at the table, everyone has to agree).

How to play Short Deck (6+)

Hold'em with the 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s taken out: 36 cards, bigger hands and lots of action.

A hand, step by step

  1. The two players to the left of the dealer button post the small and big blind.
  2. Everyone gets two private cards. Pre-flop betting starts with the player left of the big blind: fold, call or raise.
  3. The flop: three shared cards face up. Betting starts with the first player still in, left of the button.
  4. The turn: a fourth shared card, then a betting round.
  5. The river: a fifth shared card, then the last betting round.
  6. Showdown: any five of your two cards and the five on the board. The best hand wins the pot; equal hands split it.

Betting

No limit: bet any amount up to everything in front of you.

Which hand wins

Short Deck rankings: a flush beats a full house, three of a kind beats a straight, and A-6-7-8-9 counts as a straight. Otherwise the usual order.

Tips

  • Flushes are rarer with fewer cards of each suit, so they rank higher.
  • Pairs and draws improve far more often than in Hold'em.
