Hello, I just recently started playing UTH at the casino closest to me. But I noticed that it seems to be a modified variant of the original UTH. Almost all is the same except that when the dealer doesnt open you will get paid on the Play bet regardless of what cards you have, and also you will not get paid the blind if the dealer doesnt open not even if you get a Royal Flush. I would like to know how these changes affect the odds of the game and what is the optimal strategy of this variant, Im gussing that since you get paid if the dealer doesn't open it would make sense to bet higher in the begging , for example betting 4X on all Qs?

I would be more inclined to analyze this if you gave me the name and location of the casino.

Thank you for replying, the casino is in Bogotá Colombia , Río Casino , but from what I've been told most casinos here in Colombia( and in many countries in Latin America) uses this variant of UTH, could be that it is a bit easier for dealing since this game is pretty difficult to deal, or could be that the odds of this variant is more favorable to the house. I just want to play the best optimal strategy for this variant. I use the strategy that you made in your chart but I would think that maybe since the dealer pays all play bets if he doesn't open it is advantages to bet more aggressively in the begging. Thank you for taking your time in analyzing this variant.
