Rules can vary by room or tournament. Verify the local rules.

A smaller deck changes the sample space

Removing ranks two through five leaves 36 cards. Draw density rises, paired boards appear differently, and familiar standard-deck intuition cannot simply be reused. The picker blocks unavailable ranks before calculation.

The two rule changes scored here

An ace may play below six in A-6-7-8-9. A flush outranks a full house. Straight, flush, and full-house tie breakers still compare the relevant high ranks without using translated hand names.

Confirm the table rules

Short Deck games sometimes vary on trips versus straight or ante structure. This calculator uses the displayed ranking only. Confirm the actual game rules before reviewing a hand.
