So here in St. Louis, Hollywood Casino just got WPT 3X raise holdem, it seems to play just like Ultimate only the blind is called "odds" and pays automatically for "bad beats" on a straight or better. I looked up this game on the wizards site and I noticed the side bets he has recorded are a little different than the ones at my casino, and I'd like to know the HE on both of them. Here they are:

Pocket Cards:

Pocket Aces: 25:1
Ace/Face Suited: 20:1
Ace/Face: 10:1
Any pocket pair: 5:1



Trips Plus:

Royal: 100:1
Straight Flush: 40:1
Quads: 30:1
Full House: 7: 1
Flush: 5:1
Straight: 4:1
Trips: 3:1

I'm guessing Trips Plus is probably 7% plus but I'm really curious about the pocket cards one.

Pocket aces: 25*((4/52)*(3/51))
Any other pocket pair: 5*((3/51) - p(pocket aces))
Ace/face suited: 20*((4/52)*(3/51)+(12/52)*(1/51))
Any other Ace/face: 10*((2*(4/52)*(12/51)) - p(ace/face suited))

Add all those together. Then take 1 - sum of that.

PaiGowdan on the bad beat if you push do you get paid? I know you didn't get beat but you didn't win either. I saw this happen on a full house.

Copied hands push, the standard practice in all Texas Hold 'em style games. It's to follow standard Hold 'em poker practice here.

This is because the community board is five cards long, and there could be a complete hand there. If the community board is a straight flush (and so it gives you a straight flush), and you tie, you can't say in good conscience it's a bad beat. As it stands in this game, if the community board is a straight flush or full house, and the dealer caps the top with his hole cards to win, - then all the players win the bad beat, not only the trips plus. But more often a player's fine hand gets beaten by the dealer on partial help from the community board and gets paid. Any bad beat on a straight or better pays out to the player. This is a remarkable game feature.

Bad beat is to convert a rare bad beat loss to a win, - while a push is a still save on all Hold 'em games.

So holy wow. Trips Plus is actually a better bet than the pocket pair bonus! 3.3%, that's actually pretty damn good for a side bet.
