About this app

The only dedicated Short Deck poker training app.

Master 6+ Hold'em with GTO preflop ranges, complete hand rankings, and an interactive strategy course. Whether you're learning Short Deck poker rules for the first time or studying advanced preflop charts, this app has everything you need.

SHORT DECK ACADEMY — LEARN THE GAME

Our interactive Short Deck poker course covers three essential modules:

• The Basics — Short Deck poker rules, hand rankings, the 36-card deck, and how the ante structure changes strategy compared to Texas Hold'em.

• Math That Matters — Equity compression, drawing power, the Rule of 3 and 6, and why Short Deck odds differ dramatically from Hold'em probabilities.

• Preflop Strategy — Starting hands, position play, limping strategies, and when to raise or fold. Learn which hands are premium in Short Deck and which are traps.

Each lesson includes quizzes with explanations so you truly understand the strategy behind every decision.

24 GTO PREFLOP CHARTS

Position-based preflop ranges built from GTO solver analysis:

• Raise First In (RFI) — 6 charts covering UTG, MP, HJ, CO, BTN, and SB opening ranges
• vs Limp — 10 charts for responding when opponents limp ahead of you
• vs All-In — 8 charts for calling and shoving decisions

Each chart displays the complete 9×9 Short Deck hand matrix with color-coded actions and exact frequencies for mixed strategies. Know exactly when to fold, call, raise, or shove.

WHY SHORT DECK POKER?

Short Deck (also called 6+ Hold'em or Six Plus Hold'em) removes all 2s through 5s from the deck, creating intense action with a 36-card deck. Featured at Triton Poker with million-dollar pots, it's the poker variant where:

• Equities run closer — AA vs JTs is 63/37 (vs 80/20 in Hold'em)
• Sets hit more often — 17-18% on the flop (vs 12% in Hold'em)
• Straights are everywhere — 13.65% probability (vs 4.62% in Hold'em)
• Every pot is bigger thanks to the ante-only structure

PERFECT FOR

• Hold'em players transitioning to Short Deck
