CoinPoker’s Short Deck Poker Games
Short Deck poker (also known as 6+ Hold’em) is built for action. It’s almost the same as Texas Hold’em except that all of the 2, 3, 4, and 5 cards are removed, and straights beat flushes.
Find Short Deck cash games on our 6-max tables, starting at $0.01 blinds. With six players, ranges widen, equities run closer, and huge hands are the standard.
Sit at active tables 24/7, find consistent action, and plenty of options at the most popular stakes.

In Short Deck poker, premium hands like high pairs and strong broadway combinations perform well against wider ranges. With closer equities, passive play gets punished, so build pots early and apply pressure when you have the edge.
Straights appear more often due to the reduced deck, making them a key part of winning play. Flushes are harder to complete, so avoid overvaluing suited hands and focus more on connected cards that can make strong straight combinations.
Short Deck rewards players who embrace variance and stay aggressive. With more draws and bigger hands in play, you need to bet aggressively, pressure opponents, and avoid slow playing strong holdings if you want to maximize value.
