Ultimate Texas Hold 'em - trips and jackpot bets

I have a question about playing Ultimate Texas Hold 'em. I understand the basic poker strategy part of this table game, but I haven't been able to figure out if it is correct to play the trips bet and the $1 jackpot bet. So far, I haven't been playing either bet. Am I missing anything? If I should be playing the trips bet, how much should I be betting? The same amount as my ante and blind bet? More?

Thanks, Chris

Chris,

Welcome!

FYI...There is a complete work up of the game and all the various bets at www.wizardofodds.com
That should answer most or all of your questions.

I wouldn't recommend playing the trips bet; usually the paytable is worse than the main game when played properly. If the meter is high, you can play the jackpot bet (preferably at $150k or more), but I would try to find a table that didn't offer that if possible.

The usual jackpot bet is under the "Michigan Progressive" portion of the page, I believe.
