Hi,

There is a new table game in Scottsdale AZ, mini ultimate texas holdem. It seems to be a mix of 3 card poker and ultimate texas holdem. The player and dealer get one card each and there are three community cards. Betting is similar to ultimate texas holdem.

Does anyone have a strategy for this new game?

Thanks for the help!

I took the above info from a video of the game. Here is the link: mini UTH

This game will be easy to analyze because its a total of five cards.

I already have some strategy analysis of this game which can be found here. If you want I can email you the complete optimal strategy spreadsheets, which I haven't yet made into a perfectly-descriptive/accurate/coherent strategy.

AI gave me this data on x1/x2 strategies which I've chosen to trust because the game is simple and this seems correct. For the record, this is the only time I've used AI to find the strategy for a game. I am capable of doing this by myself but nobody is paying me so sadly I didn't create any artisanal code to share with y'all :D
