Available exclusively at PokerStars 6+ Hold’em is your chance to play an action-packed variant loved by high-stakes players around the ⚾️ world.
All 6+ Hold’em games use a 36-card deck (with all cards lower than a 6 removed), which is shuffled before ⚾️ every hand is dealt. Games also use a 'button blind' structure: every player posts an ante, and the player seated ⚾️ at the button position is the only one who posts a blind – meaning there is only one blind per ⚾️ hand, rather than traditional small/big blind format.
The action starts with the player seated to the left of the button. Each ⚾️ hand then plays out according to Texas Hold’em rules, with pre-flop, flop, turn and river betting rounds.
If you’ve played Texas ⚾️ Hold’em games before, the rules of 6+ Hold’em are easy to follow.
But don’t forget: contrary to regular Texas Hold'em games, ⚾️ in 6+ Hold’em a flush beats a full-house. A five-card hand consisting of Ace, 6, 7, 8, 9 (any suit) ⚾️ is also deemed a straight. All other hand rankings remain the same.
