The title speaks for itself. Short Deck Holdem is a fast and action packed game already hugely popular in Asia. See the Triton Poker twitch stream for recent Tournament and cash game high stakes action including Ivey and Dwan. Please consider building a calculator for this game

Definitely not an advertisement. But I admit it sounds like one the way I wrote it!.
Sounds like an interesting game.
I've played short-deck 5-Card Draw (7-A only, with the 6 added if more than 5 players)
Much higher frequency of trips, but much lower frequency of flushes.
In fact, in the stripped-deck 5-Card Draw game, a flush beats a full house...
VS
Flush beats full house in Short deck NLHE also. I've read about one variant where sets beat straights also.
The Short Deck 5-Card Draw sounds interesting also.
6 + Holdem on iPoker network is similar, except it's 6-A.
Sets beat straights and flushes beat full houses.
I never heard of this format, but I expect if you would play it and you know the game well you have a decent advantage in this format.

Hey dheffx,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com 
Nice piece of work. Are you planning to develop it further i.e. support for multiway hands, turn and river runout, etc
I will also move this to our 'Poker Tools' board.
Regards
Laz
it does already support both multi-way pots, and turn/river. UI design is prob the biggest leak in my programming game... so the buttons/inputs/instructions may not be very clear. There is a + icon for add player, and the board lets you put in up to 5 cards. I'll see if I can improve the UX a bit when i get some more free time.
Do you plan to develope also a desktop solution so that it is possible to use the tool offline?
Can I suggest you allow complete enumeration? It is only about 200k with no board and gets much smaller with a board.
Hi, in the calculator the set is shown as trips and straight beats them (in the calculator). This is error.

It is using the Triton rules. This is not an error.
There is calculator CombCalc6Plus. He "knows" that set > straight and flush > full house.
Looking at the promotional material (after translating it) it appears to be be fully featured and includes complete enumeration, but it is also $50 and comes from a Russian company that won't offer demos because, according to them, "they are easily hacked". I'd suggest to them that anyone willing to install random Russian shareware is also "easily hacked".
There will be widely available fast 6+ evaluators soon, it is just that the people who have written fast ones aren't writing them for use in public tools. Eventually someone will publish one and then you'll see them rolled into web or user facing tools.
you're both right. the rules for triton and six plus (as played on ACR) are different regarding trips vs straight. i wrote and pushed an update tonight that exposes both variants in the calculator. i made six plus the new default.
