Luật Short Deck
Short Deck is Texas Hold'em played with a 36-card deck -- all cards below 6 are removed. The smaller deck dramatically increases the frequency of strong hands and changes the hand rankings.
The Deck
Cards 2, 3, 4, and 5 are removed, leaving 6 through Ace in all four suits (36 cards total). Ace can still play low to make a 6-high straight: A-6-7-8-9.
Hand Rankings (Short Deck)
| Rank | Hand | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Royal Flush | Same as standard |
| 2 | Straight Flush | Same as standard |
| 3 | Four of a Kind | Same as standard |
| 4 | Flush | Beats a full house in Short Deck |
| 5 | Full House | Loses to a flush |
| 6 | Three of a Kind | Beats a straight in Short Deck |
| 7 | Straight | A-6-7-8-9 is the lowest straight |
| 8 | Two Pair | |
| 9 | One Pair | |
| 10 | High Card |
Key differences: Flush beats Full House; Three of a Kind beats Straight.
Gameplay
Play proceeds identically to No-Limit Texas Hold'em: two hole cards, four betting streets (pre-flop, flop, turn, river), five community cards. The only differences are the deck size and hand rankings above.
On SPN
Short Deck tables use the standard SPN tick-fee model. All hand rankings are automatically enforced by the platform.
