Short Deck (6+) Poker

TheNutz4You · Jan 23, 2019

Has anyone delved into short deck cash games yet? I have played around 500 hands of it so far (down a little over 1 buyin), and it's been extremely fun and action packed. Not a ton of theory content out on it yet, but i'm sure as time goes by, and more people begin playing it, strat content will be released.

I have only watched on TV. It looks like a lot of fun!

I had someone stake me in a tourney last night on 64spades. It was my 1st tourney playing short deck and I came in 4th for $64.90. I like it and read about it so I knew what is was. I like it but you need to stay sharp and remember the hand rankings are different!!!

tried it yesterday 3 tabling about 1k hands, seems to had more recs than regs ratio & that makes it so much more fun

btw. is it only on stars that straight > trips? when i google it most poker strategy sites list it the other way around

I tried it a couple of times (got 2nd place in a tournament), but didn't really like it, especially when multi-tabling regular Holdem. I guess it would be better if I was only playing 6+, but I get to bored just playing one table and there was only 1 6+ tournament available at the time.

On ACR trips beat a straight, and a flush beats a full house. (that is the only place I have played it)

Hello.
Personally, I do not like these new types of poker. In my opinion, ordinary classic poker is much better.

I played a little but only on conditional chips. Actually, I'm only interested in Hold'em, I don't want to scatter in different games.

a good game for winning or losing money quick..............but i do like it ....

Best strategy at the moment is play it tight, since there are less cards the possibility of to players have 3 of a cain is bigger.

Hey. You can try this game on poker stars. Tab 6 + Hold'em.

In the poker school forum are some materials about the approach of 6+.

I know it's a newish game, but I am surprised that I can't find a single book about short deck poker on Amazon... anyone got any resources for studying this game?

What is this game 6+ I have not played in a sense do not know how many players are at the table 6 or more

It means you are playing Texas Hold 'Em with the twos through fives removed from the deck -- thus only the cards 6 and above (6+) are in play. Hence the name.

Short deck is like Omaha, there will always be a lot of action and a lot of danger as well.

TO my mind its more interesting and faster.I tried to play and one time was sure that i have nuts full house, but i lost to flash, it was painful.
