How do you play a Short Deck hand?

Pre-flop

Unlike Texas Hold'em, you don't pay a blind.

Instead of blinds, all players must call an ante.

To take action, the dealer (button) is required to pay an additional ante. This is usually the same value as the normal ante, but it can also be different.

The player to the left of the dealer is the first to act.

The minimum raise preflop is double the ante of the button.

Flop

Three ordinary cards are dealt face-up, starting the next round of betting.

As in the pre-flop, the player to the left of the dealer is the first to act.

The minimum post-flop bet is the normal ante value (the mandatory ante that all players call before a hand is dealt).

Turn

A fourth common card is added, followed by a new round of betting.

River

The final common card is dealt with, starting the final betting round.

Showdown

As in Texas Hold ', your best five cards play, however, in the Short Deck:

Flush hits full house

A6789 is a straight (the ace plays high or low, so TJQKA is also straight)

A6789 of the same suit is a straight flush

Partial fund removal

Unlike other cash game formats, Short Deck allows players to remove chips from the table when they have a sufficiently large stack. On the world's best online poker platform you can continue to play at the same table and to make winning continuously you actually need to improve your poker skills.
