SHORT DECK · 6+
A tighter deck and more frequent big hands
EZPoker Short Deck removes cards 2 through 5, uses a 36-card deck, supports 2–6 players, and allows A-6-7-8-9 as a straight.

How the deck changes
Only ranks 6 through A remain. The smaller deck changes hand frequencies, so players should review the displayed ranking rules before the table begins.
Who it suits
Short Deck works well for smaller groups that already know Hold'em and want a faster rhythm with stronger made hands and more reversals.
