In the midst of the broadcast of the televised PSPC table, Jason Somerville missed a key fact. A fact that PS surely wanted to keep secret for a few more days. Enough before announcing, in the middle of PCA 2019, that the Short Deck Hold'em arrives in PS .

The chosen date would be January 16, although until now there is no confirmation (or even denial) by the authorities of Stars.

What do you think of this modality ?, I know that this modality already has many followers but will have the success that PS expects?

Super interested to try it out, since players like Tom Dwan are so adamant about it being better (action wise)

Expected that to happen and to be honest I am surprised that it happended that late.

Quite nice way to play Poker. First heard about it via VirtuePoker, tried it and it is a lot of fun.

All the best for you!

They have a different version of six-max then I have seen on other sites.

They did not adjust the hand rankings and left them the same as normal holdem.. except a flush beats full house.

3 of a kind is supposed to beat a straight, but they decided not to change that.

Much too easy to make a straight for it in this game.. not sure what to think of this.

This could attract a lot of players who like to chase flushes:
