Six-plus hold 'em (also known as short-deck hold 'em and Manila) is a community card poker game variant of Texas 馃憤 hold 'em, where the 2 through 5 cards are removed from the deck. Each player is dealt two cards face 馃憤 down and seeks to make the best five card poker hand from any combination of the seven cards (five community 馃憤 cards and their own two hole cards).[1]
Rules [ edit ]
The rules in terms of betting structures, play of the hand, 馃憤 and showdown are the same as in Texas hold 'em. However, before play begins all cards 2 through 5 are 馃憤 removed (16 cards), thus the total number of cards in the deck is 36. Aces are high, but same as 馃憤 in Texas hold 'em, can make both low and high end of straights. For example, the lowest straight would be 馃憤 (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 馃憤 or prior. This game is popular in Australia[6] and among high stakes gamblers in Asia.
In 2024, Phil Ivey and Tom 馃憤 Dwan promoted the game in an online video showing this variant of Texas hold 'em which is frequently played in 馃憤 Macau, Hong Kong and Manila.[7][8]
