Give Short Deck on partypoker a Try
Moving away from the tournament scene for just a second, we thought we'd shine a light on the Short Deck tables that are on offer at partypoker. Short Deck poker uses a smaller 36-card deck rather than the full 52-card deck, leading to more action and lots of fun!
