And now, here’s Michael Shackleford Let’s talk about Ultimate Texas Hold ’em this is a poker-based game based on texas hold ’em poker but the player plays only against the dealer. The game starts where the player makes an ante bet and a blind bet, they must be equal, and the player may also make an optional side bet called the trips bet.
after the players have made their wagers the dealer will give each player two cards, two hole cards, and deal five community cards face down just like in texas hold ’em the player will check his own two cards and at this point either make a raise bet equal to four times his ante wager or he may check If the player does make the raise wager he’s done he can’t do anymore raising and the dealer will turn over the flop, the first three community cards.
At this point, if the player has not already made a raise bet he may do one but he can only do it for two times his ante bet. Then the dealer will turn over the turn and the river cards the fourth and the fifth community cards at this point, any player who has not already made either raise may either raise one-time his ante bet or he may fold.
Then the dealer will turn over his two hole cards and both the player in the dealer will make their best five-card poker hand out of the seven cards and the higher hand will win. The dealer needs to have at least a pair to open, if the dealer does not make at least a pair the dealer will push back the player’s ante bets which will automatically push Then if the dealer does open or whether or not he opens the dealer will compare his poker hand to the player’s poker hand, the higher one wins.
If the player has the higher poker hand then the raised bet will pay even money if the dealer has the better hand the raise will lose and if the dealer has it a tie, then it will be a push same thing for the ante bet assuming that the dealer opened.
It pays even money if the player wins Now the blind bet is a different story there it goes by a pay table if the player has at least a straight and beats the dealer then the blind bet will pay according to the pay table posted on the table if the player does not have at least a straight which is most of the time then if the player wins the blind bet will only push if the dealer wins the line bet will lose So the blind bet is where the dealer’s house advantage comes in.
Where the player’s power comes in is the player can make a big raise bet early on if he gets a good hand. The house advantage in ultimate Texas Hold ’em which probably nobody knows perfectly is 2.
18% means that for every dollar the player bets on the ante he can expect to lose 2.18 cents The trips bet pay is based only on the poker value of the player’s hand and to win on the trips bet the player needs to get at least a three of a kind.
The usual pay table on the trips bet goes three, four, seven, eight, thirty, forty, fifty If you see that pay table which you probably will in a live game the house advantage on that bet is 3.50% On some of the units that don’t have a live dealer but have a big video screen and you play against a computer monitor then they have a stingier pay table that goes three, five, six, seven, twenty, forty, fifty.
That pay table has a house advantage of 6.18 percent. Next let’s talk about the strategy for ultimate texas hold ’em I’m only gonna talk about the process for the first decision point because it gets really complicated at the second and the third decision points at the first decision point, the player is allowed to raise three times or four times his ante bet but the player should never make the small three x raise because if he gets really good hole cards to begin with he should always make the full four x raise much like if you double down in blackjack you should never double for less if you’ve got a good hand put out all the money you can out there here are the hands for you should make the raise bet after you see your two hole cards and before the flop if you have any pair except duces if you have an ace high if you have unsuited king five or better unsuited queen eight or better or unsuited jack ten if you have a suited king high if you have to be served queen six or better or a suited jack eight or better if you don’t have any of those hands that i just said then you should check and the dealer will turn over the flop and then eventually the river and turn so you may be making one of the smaller raise bets later the strategy for the second and third decision points are pretty complicated i have some really complicated strategies on my website that advise on when to do it however through the las vegas advisor they sell strategy cards for ultimate texas holdem is a very concise and powerful strategy which i highly recommend i regret i didn’t think of this strategy myself but this is an excellent strategy available through the las vegas advisor If you want to know more about me or hundreds of different casino games it’s all on my 메이저놀이터 website
