Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em (also known as Ultimate Texas holdem and Ultimate Texas Hold'em) is registered trademark of Bally Gaming, π Inc. and refers to a reinvented variant of the classic poker game Texas hold 'em. In this variation, the player π does not compete against other players. Instead, they play only against the dealer. At any point during the course of π the hand, the player is free to make one raise. In this poker-based game (community cards), the earlier the raise π is made, the higher its value is.
The game begins with the player making a blind bet and an ante. They π are also provided with an optional Trips side which allows them to acquire a payout whether their hand loses or π wins. Ultimate Texas Hold 'em is different from other poker-based games in the sense that the ante still remains in π play even after the players made a raise and even if the dealer does not open.[1]
Objective [ edit ]
The format π of Ultimate Texas Hold βEm is similar to other variants of poker available in most casinos and online poker sites. π The player and the dealer will both get two cards. The player will then be allowed to look at his π cards and decide if he wishes to check or raise four times the ante. Another option available to the player π is raising three times. If the player decides to raise at any point during the hand, the action will end π from his end.
After deciding to raise, the player will be shown three cards which are referred to as the βflopβ. π The other players who did not raise before the flop will be given the choice to raise twice the ante. π Another option available for the player would be checking. After the table has resolved the post-flop betting, the last two π cards will be revealed. By this time, the players will be required to either match their ante or fold. After π this, the dealer will reveal his two cards and grade the hand. In order for the dealer to qualify, he π must possess at least a paired board. The ante pushes if the dealer fails to qualify. The same is true π even in a scenario where the player possesses a hand that loses to the dealer. On the other hand, if π the dealer qualifies, the one who wins the ante bet will be the player with the best hand.
