Definition & Meaning of "six-plus hold 'em"

What is "six-plus hold 'em"?

Six-plus hold 'em is a variant of Texas hold 'em poker where the deck is modified by removing all the 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s, leaving a 36-card deck. This change alters the odds and strategies of the game. In Six-plus hold 'em, the hand rankings are adjusted slightly, with a flush ranking higher than a full house, because there are fewer cards of each suit. Players still use the same basic rules as Texas hold 'em, with two hole cards dealt to each player and five community cards shared by all players. The goal is to make the best five-card hand using any combination of hole cards and community cards, with the player holding the best hand winning the pot.
