November at Natural8

Tags: natural8, short deck.
Posted on 30 October 2019 by "T".

The flourishing poker variant Six Plus Hold'em, or also commonly referred to as Short Deck can now be found at Natural8! Short Deck is a stripped-deck version of Texas Hold'em. In playing the game, all the deuces through fives are removed, leaving a deck of just 36 cards instead of the normal 52. Because of this, there are a few major differences between Texas Hold'em and Short Deck when it comes to hand rankings. In Short Deck, a flush defeats a full house.

This poker variant is popular among high-stakes gamblers in Hong Kong, Macau and Manila. Natural8's ambassadors Michael Soyza and Danny Tang both ran deep in Short Deck events featured in the Triton Super High Roller series this year.

To celebrate the inaugural Short Deck, Natural8 is hosting Short Deck Tournaments featuring a ¥300,000 guaranteed prize pool. These tournaments will only run exclusively on the launch week, November 4 to November 10. Short Deck tournaments come with a variety of buy-ins and includes a freeroll each day with ticket prizes to other Short Deck tournaments.

Experience Short Deck and enjoy the edgy Button Ante, 5-max, and CNY format all at Natural8. If you're new to the game, there's even a quick How-to Guide for Beginners.

Natural8's Rush & Cash $500,000 promotion continues in November, with the same $100K Weekly Leaderboard and $20K Weekly Missions, you won't need to find another game. No opt-in required, just play and win your lion's share.

Starting November, Natural8 will make another substantial adjustment by limiting players to only four open tables per cash game. Cash games includes:

  • VIP Games
  • No-Limit Hold'em
  • Pot-Limit Omaha
  • All-in or Fold
  • Rush and Cash
  • Short Deck

 

No table limit will be applied to tournaments, meaning players will still be able to play an unlimited number MTTs. The table limit will remain the same on the mobile app, which is capped to a total of four tables, including tournaments.

The main goal is to speed up the games by making the gameplay less robotic to optimize the ecology. Players who often multi-table might take a longer time to act on other tables when faced with a difficult decision in one particular table.

According to the statistics gathered, four table seems to be optimal as it also mirrors the 4 tables available on mobile. Ultimately, this will make for a better experience for recreational players and sometimes even for professional players. The faster the action is, the more fun the games tend to be.

This game is for those who are familiar with it and those who try to take lessons to learn as much about this game. His rules are different from what i noticed, because a flush win, in front to a full house and this thing must be remembered and other things as well.

I didn't even know as Natural8 is an Asian poker room. Now i know for the first time and even if i wanted to play here, i can't because of certain restrictions. I had an account elsewhere and it was also an Asian site, but i don't know if it works now or maybe it was closed.

I am registered in this room .... Of course, I have not appeared there for a very long time, but now I have the opportunity to see what's new in this poker room .... have there been any good changes for the players ..... and the fact that they involved a new short deck game there is nothing innovative in it ...... now In almost all poker rooms there is a short deck game

I mean, asians are good at many things but yeah overall I would be very cautious playing cards, go or mahjong against them.

if Asians were so good at poker then when we would have Tournament Winners only Asians ... but as we all see tournaments winners become people from completely different countries and different nationalities .... It seems to me of course that temperament and nationality influence the game .. But if a person plays well, he can be of any nationality or temperament .... everyone has a chance .... even weak players sometimes
