Maybe, maybe not. Depends how profitable it is for the poker sites. It certainly looks like an interesting game.

If you think it's going to create a new poker boom though, forget it. That won't happen until 'Murica comes back into the global player pool.

It'd run as often as Royal Hold'em did at UB. For those that don't know, Royal HE was a game where the 2-9's were removed and it ran for the first couple of days and never again.

Similar to each of the new cash game modes pokerstars has introduced this year, ran for a few days then basically dead at any stake besides super micros

Are you sure it only ran a few days? I used to splash around quite a bit in that stupid game.

I was being a bit hyperbolic. It ran but usually 1 table of $.10/$.25. Though, in defense of Royal HE, it was a limit game iirc

This seems like a very legitimate concern to me as well.

Not disagreeing, but how would it make it easier compared to any other game?

I was just thinking that with a smaller (36 card) deck the value of knowing another player's 2 cards would go up. People would be more incentivized to have a partner/partners at the table.

I still voted yes, though.

Well, maybe I'm missing something here, but iPoker runs some Six Plus Hold'em tables for at least more than 2 years now, ain't it ?
So if that really was a revolution, all other sites would had jumped on the wagon and offer it as well on their sites.

Could we start with a site that offers games to American's with bot, collusion, and mismanagement protection?

Ha! We have a better chance of short deck poker being offered than this. You sir, are a dreamer.

Need a fun game that is not just a shove fest

Poker is dull Omaha to hard to pick up

Had over 100 years for someone to make a game that can compete with them and nothing come close

Imagine a game with 3 players and the deck consists of 4 aces and 4 kings. Wouldn’t it be pretty valuable to know which cards one of the other two players has?

The lower the number of cards the more profitable to cheat by card sharing.

I'd like to see it tested at lower stakes. I'm sure a lot of players would give it a shot just for fun!

can we at least agree that the rake for online short-deck should be through the roof to keep the games good?

There'sa few sites that offer it in the UK. Lots of fish to, microstakes though i think the largest cash game is 50p/£1

Much more fun than NLHE, probably my fave game at the mo.
