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]
Also known as, Manila, since 2010 👍 or prior. This game is popular in Australia[6] and among high stakes gamblers in Asia.
In 2024, Phil Ivey and Tom 👍 Dwan promoted the game in an online video showing this variant of Texas hold 'em which is frequently played in 👍 Macau, Hong Kong and Manila.[7][8]
