Six-plus hold 'em (also known 🧬 as short-deck hold 'em and Manila) is a community card poker game variant of Texas hold 'em, where the 2 🧬 through 5 cards are removed from the deck. Each player is dealt two cards face down and seeks to make 🧬 the best five card poker hand from any combination of the seven cards (five community cards and their own two 🧬 hole cards).[1]

Rules [ edit ]

The rules in terms of betting structures, play of the hand, and showdown are the same 🧬 as in Texas hold 'em. However, before play begins all cards 2 through 5 are removed (16 cards), thus the 🧬 total number of cards in the deck is 36. Aces are high, but same as in Texas hold 'em, can 🧬 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). 🧬 This changes the probability of hands and alters hand rankings.[2]
