- How do you play Ultimate Texas Hold em?
- The 5 community cards are dealt in order of flop (3 cards), turn (1 card) and river (1 card). In standard texas hold’em a round of betting occurs after each deal. So the hand stages look like this:
- A round of betting before the flop is dealt - or pre-flop
- A second round of betting after the flop (the first three community cards) has been dealt
- A third round of betting after the turn (the fourth community card) has been dealt
- A final round of betting after the fifth community card, the river, has been dealt
- You place your blind and ante before you are dealt any cards (the blind and ante have to be the same amount).
- You are dealt two cards face down and a round of betting occurs (it is worth noting that you can only bet either 3x or 4x your blind and ante at this stage). If you do not want to bet on your cards, you can check.
- If you check, the dealer will deal the flop, and you will be able to place a bet which is limited to 2x your ante amount, or you can check again.
- If you check again, the dealer will deal the fourth and fifth cards, and if you want to bet on your hand strength at this point, you will be limited to just 1x your ante amount. If you still don’t like your hand and dont want to bet, you must fold and forfeit your ante and blind bets for that hand.
- If you bet pre-flop, the dealer will deal all 5 community cards with no further rounds of betting. The same is true if you bet on the flop. Players are only able to bet on a hand once in Ultimate Texas Hold’em.
