There appears to be a move afoot to introduce changes to Holdem poker. How about three pairs as a winning hand on 6+ Poker? Where would it fit in the hierarchy of hands as three pairs is not a common hand? I can only think of two permutations to get this result; either you start with a pair in the hole and two pairs turn up in the community cards, or you start off with two individual cards, pair them and another pair turns up. Any takers?
I dont like this idea at all. Poker is a five card game and if you introduce a six card, you change the hole game. This would also raise a lot of new situations. What if you get a six card straight or flush. How good is that? And what about "bigger" houses (as in 555 999). I think this would just make the game complicated, and very hard to learn and again attract new players
Just my 2 cents

Idk man, that seems to be changing too much since it's always been best of 5 cards. Adding a single 6 card hand would mess up the balance of things.
If you did that, then you'd have to start adding in more 6 card hands to the point of making it a new game format entirely.

I'm not a very big fan of new varients of poker online it adds to many choices.I think you eventually just spread the field so wide into different games. That you eventually end up with very small player pools playing each game type.I'm glad to see the smaller more recreational sites moving to rewards based incentives.And removing speed poker and taking it back to basics with a few varients like omaha and holdem.While the big sites like pokerstars i dont mind speed poker because it attracts all reg's and leaves the regular tables with more recreational players. But surely we have enough varients of the game to choose from now without introducing any more.
three pairs
Is it possible to collect three pairs in poker? No, no, and again no, there is no concept of "three pairs" in any list of gaming combinations. There is nothing surprising in this, because classic poker disciplines have one common condition - the combination is made up of 5 cards, and how many three pairs? True - 6. What makes such a combination a priori impossible in most types of poker. I don’t think that this is even possible and even theoretically likely. Hold'em. Then you have to come up with some other features and differences. Although, it would probably be cool
in Hold'em, we have 7 cards at once. And in Omaha, each player has four cards in his hands, and five more are on the table — that is, in the end, nine! however, when building a combination, only five cards are always counted. Moreover, in Hold'em it can be any five cards, and in Omaha there must be two cards from those that you have on your hands, and three cards - from those that are on the table.:secruity::secruity::secruity:
