There aren’t many differences between Short Deck Hold’em hand rankings and the ones found in the full deck format. The player on the button gets to act last on all streets. This is true before the flop and after the flop alike, so there are no changing dynamics. The action begins with the first player to the left of the button and continues clockwise.
Once all antes are in, every player is dealt two cards, face down, so nothing changes here. The player on the button post additional ante (two antes in total).In classic Hold’em, you’d have two players post a small and big blind, before the hand starts. While No-Limit Hold’em is played with blinds, Six Plus is mostly played using antes. The biggest difference between most full deck games and Short Deck ones is in the betting structure.
