Short Deck Poker (also known as Six-plus hold 'em) is a version of Texas hold 'em, where the 2 through 5 cards are removed from the deck. Like Texas Hold'em, each player is dealt two cards face down and looks to make the best possible 5 card combination from their two hold cards and the five cards dealt to the community board which their opponents also play off of.
Since 16 cards are removed, the total number of cards in the deck are 36. Aces are high, but may make both low and high end of straights. So the lowest straight possible would be 9-8-7-6-A. This also changes the probability of hands and alters hand rankings due to less cards being in the deck.

NoLimitCoin just opened up tables on Short Deck and as the picture shows that variant didn't take very long for me to flop my first Royal Flush in the first time playing Short Deck. Due to these variants they will not be eligible for the High Hand Bonus Jackpot.
