Man brother took me to Biloxi during Thanksgiving and mind you we were drunk too 😅 I never heard of the game until I played it with him and he explained the rules of the bonus. I bought in $200 and ended up winning 5k that night. I made it to 1.5k, took a break and came back and played some more. On my last hand I made a $50 bet on trips, and $50 ante/bet and did a blind 4x so $200 on a risky hand of 5/8 off suit. Flop came out one 5, and luckily two more 5's came out for me to hit quads....man that payout was good as hell 😁
I had a very similar experience. I too never played. Started out with 300 and cleared about 4k after 3 nights. Paid for my 4 day Vegas trip. Now this is my go to game
@@CEGDealerSchool Hi, I really like your videos. Was thinking if it is better for grinding not to play trips at all or not (also Prime for Three Card Poker)?; And Is it a good idea to use Martingale on every lose and getting back to the start after win? Was interested if you have ever tried to use Martingale in Ultimate or TCP. Thanks
@@montyblunt Wizard of Odds recommends to stay away from Trips since it’s still a side sucker bet that nearly doubles the house advantage. I’ve had better long term success not betting Trips, but some enjoy it since it can be quite lucrative if you hit a lot of hot hands. My casino has the $1 progressive which I do play because Heaven help me if I hit a Royal and didn’t bet that.
Watched a couple of your videos on playing Ultimate Holdem and tried it out last night for the first time. Bought in 180, and doubled my money in about 2 hours, when I left the table. Was very fun.
You will lose it if you keep playing. And that’s not an anti gambling platitude. UTH has terrible EV Way worse than many other games offered at the casino. It is a big time losing game long term
@@prisonmike3665 my casino has bad beat, trips, and progressive. It is absolutely terrible EV if you play all of those I don’t ever see anyone playing straight up ante/blind
i didnt think they did burn cards...i thought they dealt all of the cards out off the top of the deck. if you check they flip the first 3 community cards...if you play they flip over all 5 cards.
Some places play it different, Foxwoods and Mohegan sun in CT burn cards…. Encore Boston Harbor does not also in Mohegan Sun it’s Jackpot Hold’em which is different betting style… you HAVE to bet to see the flop no matter what, after that you can check down if you want or continue to bet
@ 8:19 in the video you had a Q high vs a board of K,10,8,5,3. Dealer only had 19 outs, 3 of each board card and 4xA's. You should have played per basic strategy. Anything under 21 is a play.
It was only a Q6, so technically one could say that if the dealer might have a Q hi, that could give 2 more outs giving her 21 outs instead of 19. (This "21 simple outs" thing is a good general rule, it is admittedly not perfect) But if i play this game and have any Q hi, i generally go by my general rule that if there is an A, K, or any pair on the board it is a call, except for the instance where there is also any 4 to a straight, or 4 to a flush on the board. So, good general rules: If you have an A, or K hi always call If you have a Q hi, call if there is at least one overcard, or any pair on the board If you have a jack hi, call if there are any 2 overcards, or a smaller pair, plus one overcard. If you have a 10 hi, call if there are at least 3 overcards, or 2 overs and a pair, or 2 pairs one being an overpair. Etc If you have a 9 hi, just generally, if there are at least any 4 overs on the board it is a call, but if 4 of those overs are an open ender straight draw, and there is no straight on the board, it isnt a call One must get these general rules in mind, because we are not going to sit there and figure outs each time. The vast majority of folks playing this game do not process the 21 outs thing, and also do not raise preflop when they should. I even know people who dont raise an AK preflop. In heads up poker, an AK is a HUGE hand. All these people are doing is playing for the trips bet, and other bonus bets, which makes for a game with a HUGE house edge. But it is a decent carnival game if you avoid the trips and other bonus bets, and bet prefop accordingly. That is, if you desire to play carnival games. I personally avoid games where there is zero chance to have a player edge, so i try to stick to real poker, an card counting BJ -- but that usually eventually gets one barred from BJ, no matter how much they may like you Btw, once in WA state, a cute Vietnamese girl came to my table, sat down beside me, eyed my large stack of chips, started stroking my inner thigh, and asked me if i wanted to go out in the parking lot and play some BJ in my pu. I did, but it ended up losing me a bit of money. The dealer was leering when i came back in and resumed playing
The term "degen-friendly" comes from the AMAZING science fiction book, "The Unincorporated Man". Just so you know. Read the first two books and skip the last two.
Yes you are right. The video don't talk about how to calculate rule 21 outs so you should call or fold. Most people just automatically throw money away if they don't get at least a pair.
There is a calculator on that website, and it says you should have played some stuff that you didn't. Will a casino yell at me if I use this guide while playing?
What up Alex! About to walk into the Tupac of casinos in Los Angeles! It was freaking sweet tea, garlic coded, taint fantastic meeting you at your shop! You'll full remember the guy who bought the card shoe from you, and spoke on moving to LV. Lol totally. Wel like always I warm watching you guys before I play a TOURNEY OR any casino adventure. I know two years old vid, have family in Deutsche land! Sweet novel. Well again jce meeting u, a day let's take boys out for a real Casino 80 party. On me.
Yes, but on one hand,you sometimes need to make a max preflop raise, and cannot look at the hand till the showdown. This makes for a hideous game with a very high house edge,
If you can’t bet the flop after raising pre flop. Why not just raise pairs 66-AA or AJ or better ?? Raise to 3-4x and anything else just check and raise 2x on flop and turn when you hit a pair. That’s the better strategy
If you can check before the flop, why would you not always check unless you have something crazy like a pocket pair or Ace King suited. It seems like seeing a free flop is almost always the smart play.
Because the sooner the bet, the more you can bet. If you have pocket aces and don’t bet pre flop, you can only bet 2x ur original bet. Where as if you bet pre flop you can bet 4x
Because this is heads up poker where your preflop hands are worth more than if you were sitting at a table with 8 other players. For instance, at UTH, that K5 is going to win a tiny bit over 1/2 the time, so over the long haul if you always raise it you are going to be a little ahead for doing that whereas at real poker i am probably going the throw that hand away every time preflop If you have a hand that is going to win over 50% of the time, your "free flop" is not really free, because you could have won more money on it most of the time if you had raised preflop
This game is extremely frustrating. I sat at a table for three hours and only had one straight and a low pair. Meanwhile everyone around me was hitting trips,Straits ,flushes Etc. I think the trip bet is a stupid waste of money. You're only going to hit that 80% of the time if that. Like I said I sat at a table for three hours and only had one straight and a low pair.
Right there with you everytime I have played. Iv played maybe all in all 5 times (and I do the casino thing quite a bit) and literally every single time thats how it goes. I saw an old hag sit down for 5 hands and walk away up 3k after buying in for 120$. Think iv lost about 1500$ trying to play it. Empty table and full table. Worst luck with cards.
the only thing you are doing wrong here is NOT paying your PLAY when you have a 9 high or higher. You also have to remember that dealer is basically a blind and has no control of what two cards they have. The house has a advantage if you automatically give up your money and fold. If you already have about 20 dollars total and just give it up because you have 9 high is a mistake. For example in this video you would have won 2 or 3 times just with 9 high which is my point. The house can easily have 23 off
He was ahead until the last hand. He lost $220 on the final hand. Also I wouldn't try this strat on an auto shuffler game. I dealt this game for almost 10 years as a blackjack dealer. Some casinos had shufflers. Some were hand shuffle. There is a very noticeable difference when it's hand shuffled.
The video don't talk about how to calculate rule 21 outs after the river so you should call or fold. Most people just automatically throw money away if they don't get at least a pair. What's a waste, may be this guys don't know it or they intentionally leave it out for the casino's benefit.
I made 4 k tonight and this is the absolute worst strategy betting 4x on off suited jack somethings lol I play 25 on trips and 75-150 on bet. At least when you win, your winning and not pushing when you checking to the end. I find my self going 4x on queens, kings aces and a/K only. 2 x on anything middle pair or higher or if my pocket pair is better then middle cars on the flop. I fold any hands with a pair of 2s and BAD kicker like a 3-5. I don’t even 2x on open needed straights, flush’s. If you pair a high card on flop, go 2x. When you have nothing and 9 and lower, fold. If you have high cards and the board has a pair I still play. And when the board has 2 pairs I play with 10 or higher to out kick the fifth card from the dealer
Technically you have to play to get payed on the trips. Because in a casino if you fold you’re basically admitting that you don’t have anything in you hand to get payed on the trips bet. Even if it’s in the board.
I never do side bets so I don’t know exactly, but on my casinos website where it says how to play it says folding forfeits the ante and blind and it later says the trips wager is paid regardless of winning or losing the hand. Sounds ambiguous. Worst case scenario if you’re a rated player they will probably let it go once and tell you in the future you have to stay in the hand.
@@DickBurnsTFM As I've been to more casinos now, what I originally said isn't true. My hometown casinos makes you play to get paid on the trips, but in other casinos in my area you can tuck your cards under the trips and still get paid. Very stupid rule to make someone play a losing hand in my opinion.
You can have your own way of playing for sure, but there is no disagreeing with perfect strategy. It is mathematically proven, by running millions of hands through simulations, to be the best way of playing the game
Listen to the Wizard, No Side Bets. If you hadn't have bet Trips you would have come out ahead.

Poker Blog!! Yep
I think you should call with Q high on the river they have 19 outs for 3 to 1 on your money - any pocket pair
Yes you are right. The video don't talk about how to calculate rule 21 outs so you should call or fold. Most people just automatically throw money away if they don't get at least a pair.

How can I get your strategy you used in this video I would like to try it
Do the casinos allow two hands ?
Yes, but on one hand,you sometimes need to make a max preflop raise, and cannot look at the hand till the showdown. This makes for a hideous game with a very high house edge,
First hand dealer had a pair so how did the one side push...
Timmy is real degen. Will bet all on last hand 🤣
YES A POKER BLOG BRING IT ON🃏🃏🃏🃏
Great lesson!
If you can’t bet the flop after raising pre flop. Why not just raise pairs 66-AA or AJ or better ?? Raise to 3-4x and anything else just check and raise 2x on flop and turn when you hit a pair. That’s the better strategy
Those were stacks of 5 green chips, so $500 in green.
Alex came out $95 ahead, not the loss of $5.
If you can check before the flop, why would you not always check unless you have something crazy like a pocket pair or Ace King suited. It seems like seeing a free flop is almost always the smart play.
Because the sooner the bet, the more you can bet. If you have pocket aces and don’t bet pre flop, you can only bet 2x ur original bet. Where as if you bet pre flop you can bet 4x
