After a few hundred million hands of heads up hands dealt to the river, we&#8217;ve compiled a list of the percentage of times a given hand won versus a random range from the single opponent. Here is the starting hand chart for Six Plus Holdem (also called Short Deck Holdem).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\" width=\"100%\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:

hands may sound like a lot, there&#8217;s still plenty of variance possible in these results; however, this gives us a good idea of how hand strengths change and how a starting hand chart changes in Six Plus Holdem as compared to Normal Holdem. And remember, this chart does not consider postflop play. It is only the showdown value of a given starting hand versus an opponent&#8217;s entire range. Having expressed these caveats, we can highlight a few changes.<\/p>\n<h4>Firstly:<\/h4>\n<p>The equities run closer in Six Plus Holdem than in normal Holdem. AA heads up in Holdem wins about 86% of the time against a random range. In Six Plus Holdem, that drops to about 77%. Strong hands are still strong, but not nearly as powerful as in Long Deck Holdem.<\/p>\n<p>In Long Deck Holdem, you must get to about 28% of hands to reach starting hands that are a flip against a random range. In Six Plus Holdem we start flipping against a random range with hands as powerful at the top 15% of hands.<\/p>\n<h4>Secondly:<\/h4>\n<p>We see that ties are more common than Long Deck Holdem, in which ties happen on average about 7% of the time. In Six Plus Holdem, we see ties about 10.5% of the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; New Feature: Six Plus Hold&#8217;em We&#8217;ve got a new addition to our suite of games that&#8217;s gaining popularity and taking the poker world by storm!
