Ultimate Texas Holdem Poker Rules

There are a number of rules you must keep in mind when trying out live Ultimate Texas HoldEm. 

• The player must make an Ante and Blind bet 
• The player then must make a Play bet (can be 3x or 4x the Ante bet), or check, after the live dealer deals two cards to each player. A Play bet is up to 2x the Ante bet value in the second round of betting, and then 1x the Ante bet value in the final round of betting 
• Players and the dealer need to make a 5-card hand (the best possible one) of their two cards and the five available community cards after the final round of betting 
• Player wins the Blind and Play bets if the dealer doesn’t qualify with their hand, while the Ante bet is a push. Or else, each of the Play, Ante, and Blind bets are based on the best shown hand
