Just wondering if folks have integrated short deck (6+) hold’em into home games and how they’ve done it? We tried mixing it into our $1/2 game last weekend, and people seemed to like it. My main questions are: (1) do you play with traditional blinds? I’ve seen some of the short deck high roller tourneys online played with just antes and a double ante on the button or something like that. I also thought I saw that Aria has cleared gaming commission hurdles to spread short deck and ran it with identical blinds like $1/1, but I’m less certain about that. (2) I know that flushes generally beat full houses in short deck, but I am less clear about whether 3 of a kind beats a straight? I have seen some summaries online saying trips are less common than straights, so they win. But in at least some of the play I saw online they were playing where a straight beats 3 of a kind.
Just curious how much this is spreading and how it’s being implemented.
