Ultimate Texas Holden questions

No, that multiplication factor only applies to the base game. On a $10 table, you would get about $40/hand credit, then they would add the Trips on top of that.

golden nugget (AC) has 9/7/4 trips bet!
but their rating sucks. pitboss told me it's 1x ante and 1x trips.

Caesars 4x ante/1x Trips rating is MUCH better.

Celebrity cruise ships has 765 trips.
6% house edge :(

1) So I have J 10 offsuit and was about to bet 4x when I notice the person next to me also having a Jack.

I have 1 less out. Still play it for 4x?

2) I have Q2 offsuit. the flop is A58 2 suited (not of my suit).
play it for 2x or wait till river?

Not sure what the math says.

1. I would still bet 4x. That's one less jack for the dealer.

2. I would wait for the river on any deuces. Your example doesn't make sense to me, though. You see the turn and river together, when your 2x opportunity has already passed.

let me try to clarify:
I have q2 offsuit.
flop is a58, 2 suited (not of my suit).
play it for 2x or wait till after I see river card for 1x?

edit:
added the comma after a58 :)

So you are 2x betting the flop without a pair? I thought that goes against basic strategy.

Speaking of Jack ten, if you get a flash of a hole card enough to see it's a face card, I assume you would wait to make a pair before betting. Is that correct? Would the same go for a queen?

I rarely let other players cards influence my play. Just last night, woman revealed pocket Aces, and I had A8 off suit, I still bet 4x. I flipped an 8 and held up. As far as flopping bottom pair with 3 of the same suit, I still bet 2x. I guess your question is similar to double down on BJ when you have 10 against a dealer 6 and there are few pictures left in the deck


I'm starting to re-evaluate calling with high cards with a non paired board. Not worth winning your play bet when you wont get paid off on your ante. Plus with a non paired board, the dealer has a greater chance of pairing up

Betting your ace was still the right play even with two other aces out.
As for re-evaluating calling with high cards,you shouldn't let a few observations change your play,just do what the Strategy says.
This is similar to a bj player saying they never hit 12vs 2 because they always bust.

Still not following. It looks like you're listing 4 cards on the flop. A-5-8-2 , and I'm not sure which of those are suited.

Any 3 cards suited, though, for which you don't have a 4th one in your hand, would make your hidden deuces even weaker than usual. I would hold up for 1x.

No, he's saying the flop is A-5-8, two of which are suited.
