Bet365 Poker set to release new Six Plus Hold’em poker

It is a very rare thing that Bet365 Poker, or indeed any other poker site, decides to release a brand new variant of the game. Last time this happened, it was Twister Poker and that proved to be one of the most popular versions of poker you can play.

However, over the next week or so there will be a brand new game adorning the Bet365 Poker rooms, as well as other rooms in the iPoker network. It is called Six Plus Hold’em and it promises to make poker more exciting than ever.

Six Plus Hold’em is played in exactly the same was as traditional hold’em with the same number of pocket cards, same betting rounds, same blinds paid, same bets available, only with one key difference. The lowest 16 cards, the 2 through to 5 of each suit, are removed from the pack before play and only the remaining 36 cards are used in the game.

The upshot of this is that it is easier to hit premium hands more often in this version of the game, but before you celebrate too much, you must remember that it is also easy for all your opponents to hit premium hands too.

However, there are a couple of rule changes that you need to be aware of. Due to the omission of the 16 low value cards, this means that the comparative hand rankings change for this game. In Six Plus Hold’em, a flush beats a full house and three of a kind beats a straight.

Not only that, but you can also use the ace with the four lowest value cards (6, 7, 8 and 9) to create a low straight in the same way the ace can be used in traditional Hold’em with the lower value cards.

Six Plus Hold’em is already hugely popular in the gambling halls of Macau and now it is available to play at Bet365 Poker. Keep your eyes peeled to try out this exciting new variation that promises lots of betting action as more players get stronger hands, more often.

Frampton v Quigg, Six Nations, Premier League and the Capital One Cup Final

If you are a sports betting enthusiast then you are spoilt for choice for top notch sporting events over the weekend as a host of top clashes across many different sports are scheduled to take place from Friday onwards.

The weekend begins with some Six Nations action on Friday night as Wales take on France in what promises to be a vital game for both sides. Both are so far unbeaten in the Six Nations, although the Welsh were held to a draw in Ireland, so a win against the French is vital for Warren Gatland’s team.

Then over the weekend England and Ireland will clash at Twickenham, with Scotland taking on Italy in Rome.

On Saturday night, there’s also big time boxing as two of the countries best and undefeated boxers clash in Manchester as Scott Quigg takes on Carl Frampton in what many experts feel is going to be one of the best fights of the year.

There is a full undercard of other top boxing matches on that night and then on Sunday, it is football that takes centre stage. The action starts with Manchester United hosting Arsenal in the Premier League early on Sunday afternoon, followed by the Capital One Cup Final between Liverpool and Manchester City at Wembley with both sides hoping to earn the first silverware of the season.

You can enjoy a wide range of pre-match and In-Play betting on all these games with SkyBet across what promises to be a full and dramatic weekend of sporting action.
