The Ultimate Hold’em Poker form of poker has blatantly become the most popular of the Texas Hold’em variants. The fundamental difference with respect to the traditional version is that in the Ultimate Hold’em Poker version we are only playing against the dealer (and not against other players). With a design similar to that of a Blackjack table, several players can play at the same time against the dealer.
The transition from poker to the world of the Internet has not been alien to this modality either, whose rise has been simply spectacular. There are more and more live casinos on the internet and in country where you can enjoy Ultimate Hold’em Poker directly and interacting with a real flesh and blood dealer. All the excitement and vertigo of this version of the ever popular game of poker, with the sensations of being in a real physical casino but with all the advantages of being able to do it from the armchair at home, without time limitations or the need to travel.
Rules of Ultimate Hold’em Poker
As we said, the most important difference of the Ultimate Holdem Poker variant with the traditional version is that in the Ultimate version the players play exclusively against the dealer. Since the game table layout is very similar to that of a Blackjack table, multiple players can play against a single dealer at the same time. These are the basic rules for playing poker in its Ultimate Holdem variety:
A deck of 52 cards is used.
To participate in the hand, each player must place an Ante bet and a Blind bet (both bets must be identical to each other). Although you can also make an additional bet in Trips.
The dealer deals 2 cards for each player and another two for himself.
The player can check or decide to make a Play bet that is 3 or 4 times the value of the Ante bet.
The dealer then deals the 3 community cards.
The dealer deals the 2 remaining community cards.
If the player had checked twice, they must make a Play bet for the same value of the bet. Alternatively, you can fold and lose both Ante and Blind bets.
Both the dealer and the players will try to get the best possible hand by combining their own cards and the community cards. In the case of the dealer, you need to get at least one pair to continue playing (known as “open”).
