A couple minor errors I made: When calculating the outs for the flush draw example, I made a mistake. As one of the four Aces would be a heart, there would only be 8 additional outs, for a total of 23, not 24. I also should have also said that when the dealer does not qualify, then the Ante pushes. For more in depth information about the odds and strategies for this game I highly recommend Wizard of Odds' page on Ultimate Texas Hold'em! wizardofodds.com/games/ultimate-texas-hold-em/
Is the second-highest kicker counted like in poker? In your K3 example, if dealer had KQ or KJ? A little tougher to count the outs as exactly Kings, more like ~1 out for the 3 possible Kings-having-a-higher-second-kicker hands.
The counting outs strategy only factors in one card outs so not perfect but you would count possible pairs and possible high cards that can beat you. As well as one card straights and flushes.
Theres a casino where i play that gives you 5% of extra chips to play regards to you buyin, if you buy for example 20,000 they give you 1,000 in extra chips, but this chips doesnt have value, you need to play them and win, and they replace this chip with a value chip that now is real money. So my strategy is to buyin high and use this extra chips to play, other thing of these extra chips, you have to put them on top of the ante, for example if you put 100 usd in the ante, then you can put the extra chip of 100 on top of your ante bet, and only can be equial to the ante, and if i win the ante, i win 200 usd, so im using this strategy to have a little bit of edge on the game. What do you think about
I've played this game for 7 years and have the strategy down to the dot....but the dealer not qualifying...and not "winning" the blind when you win and "losing" the blind really kills your buy in. I can't stress this enough...Gotta 4x when you can and do it...Q6s J8s... etc but sometimes you'll run into the dealer hitting everything and just screwing you over. You really need the dealer to "qualify" so your ante gets paid when you play. The blind is one thing, but those ante's add up. And if you end up on a day where your "winning" with the dealer not qualifying then you are basically bleeding slowly.
Just viewed this once. Still over my head right now. Never played this game. My main point is we need your channel. Strategy in any of the casino games is great information. Thank you Victor and Sarah!
Been a big fan for 6months or so. I play and follow most poker channels but you're the only casino game channel I like or follow. I can't afford your risk exposure but it strangely gives me my fix for games I enjoy playing. .I play 30 hrs a week 2/5 holdem avg $22 per. Thx for the content.
One thing!!! Please in the case that is what occurs in the reality of the game, we play a full table or close to it, and we see each other cards, so yes, we actually have the information of 14 cards, even before the flop!!! How much does that increase our odds!!?? In your city they let players do it as well??
At 9:29 of the video, the dealer turns over all the cards, instead of the 1st 3, why did this happen. Also, not 100 % sure about one other thing. To beat the dealer, does the dealer need a certain hand in order for the table to win?
So basically if your hand wins, you are paid out 1:1 on your play bets (comparable to the dealer “calling” your bet technically like in a regular game would be?) and then only paid out on your ante and blind according to the blind payout
Hi, this is the best explain on 21 out. If you have an app to do that it will be great for players of this game. I would tell people about this video who regularly play with me at local casinos. I see majority of them just bet 3x on A or K high at preflop and muck their hand if they get nothing after the river. I just "eye ball" my card if I see I have at least a card that higher than the highest card on the board then I call, LoL.🤔
Thank you Victor this was very helpful flash! It’s a game I’ve never played before, but I have watched you and Sarah play and just couldn’t keep up with understanding what was going on. Now, I have a much better understanding of the game. I play a lot of video poker, but I always “chicken out“ when it comes to going up to the table games. Hopefully you do more instructional videos… You certainly did a great job with this one! Thanks again.👍🏻👍🏻🙌🙏
You always play the ace 4x bc ax is better than anything than a pair you raise 33 ir higher pairs bc 22 is a toss up. Playing 4x is preferable bc when dealer doesn't qualify you push the antenna but win the play if you win u want to maximize your win
Hey there, I greatly appreciate this in depth tutorial. Hopefully you still react to these comments because I have 1 important question; on paired boards where the dealer automatically qualifies you get paid out more on average than on non paired boards. Doesn't that mean that you should be defending your high card hands on paired boards more frequently than your high card hands on non paired boards? Since the price you pay on the river is 1x and your return differs based on whether the dealer qualifies or not. Paying 1x to defend 3x payout for example only has to work 1 in 4 times as opposed to 1x to defend 1x payout which has to work 1 in 2 times. So it feels like calculating the dealers outs (21 as you mentioned in the video) varies based on the expected price vs return ratio. Please let me know if what I just said makes any sense at all. Thanks a lot!
Why do the blind bet and the trips bet pay differently? They're both based on your two hole cards and the 5 community right? So if you get a royal, you only get 50x on the trips, and 500x on the blind?
Two that’s just how the game is. The trips bet is a bonus bet that pays if you hit trips or higher, whether you beat the dealer or not (the trips can even be on the community cards). On the other hand, you lose the trips bet if you don’t hit trips or higher, even if you win the hand. The trips bet can be great for a big burst of chips when you hit something like a full house, but it’s a riskier spot to play on. The biggest payouts (royal and straight flush) luckily have very large payouts on the blind itself even if you aren’t playing the trips bet.
So the only question I have is "when does the kicker play" Sometimes i Push the dealer when we both have the same pair but a better kicker card and sometimes i lose same scenario. can anyone explain?
You have to make the best 5 card hand possible with your 2 cards and the 5 community cards. If you and the dealer have the same pair, then it goes to who has the higher card (the kicker).
Normally the game is dealt face down and colluding is not allowed. However when its only me at the table it makes no difference whether the cards are face up or down.
I don't like this game because of the Blind bet on top of that 4x bet. It will devastate your bankroll very quick even if you have a $5 minimum table. I like 3-card poker better since the game doesn't require you to bet big like 3x or 4x like UTH.
thanks so much for the lessons. Always learned a lot from your channel. best luck to you and hope you hit that elusive Royal Flush on this game soon! Live!
Its interesting that the 1st hand you show AFTER your tutorial, you dont follow the recommended strategy. Betting 2x the Play with 98 after the flop of J106 when you have not paired and only have an open ended draw is not the optimal play. You should only bet 2x if you have paired the board. Am I wrong?
Actually if I would have included the audio in that hand I actually said “you know what lets gamble!” Or something like that! But you’re right it wasn’t optimal lol!
Playing a strategy and playing optimal are two different things. There are cases when even a made pair on the flop should not be played. Optimal strategy is not humanly possible (probably).
Great video explaining the UTH game Victor! I did enjoy watching both you and Sarah playing this game! This is where I learned this game from Sarah in the last year and Victor is great at this game too. Don't stop making table game videos and keep making great content and instructional videos like this one! Your guys' YT Channel will survive and flourish!
It's a fun little side game. The payout isn't a good as the blind payouts but it's still a nice bonus. Just remember you're taking money out of your bankroll to play it which means you may not be able to play as many hands if things don't go so well. I find most guys just toss a low value chip in there for fun, like 5 bucks.
great video Victor! I noticed other YT UTH videos where the player is not counting outs which is really important to do as you (and the WofO) says to do.. nice wins at the end of the video! I remember seeing your straightFlushes from last year but must have missed the 4Q's. Exciting!
From my experience, I feel that raising 4x based on the strategy is pretty risky, unless you have a giant bankroll and playing for many hands.Esp when you don't see any cards , and hands such as AQ, 44, 77, 10K that give you nothing to work from the flop..better to see some cards and then.2x raise
Agreed. There are a LOT of cards on the table in this game it's very COMMON for good hands to end up terrible and bad hands to end up amazing. You can lose a lot of money very fast......or win a lot very fast but you need to be able to stay in the game to walk away with profit. I watch a lot of UH at the casino and most people never walk away with anything on this game because they go in too hard too fast and they're out of the game before they know what hit them.
If you have a non-paires 4X and catch a glimpse of the same high card in another players hand (i.e K5, K7) or have something like 66 and see a 64, do you still 4x or wait to 2x or even 1x?
@@333jeep The more cards you see, the more information you have. Generally these games are dealt face down to prevent seeing the other players' cards. If you do happen to see other cards, and the casino has no issue with it, then you decide what you want to do with that information.
How do the odds differ when playing multiple hands? In my experience i have better overall odds when playing two hands than one or three. Also does a full table lower the odds of one player verses two or three against the dealer??
@@allcasinoaction so the odds do not change but the probability does, because without the help of the community hand, there is no way that two people could have the same exact hand. Therefore the probability of distribution would change the more or less people at the table
@@allcasinoaction right, but whether or not the cards are showing, the probability of getting a royal flush would go down. th-cam.com/video/upVJ4YqTlC4/w-d-xo.html
So you give us a chart. Then at the end you play King 7 off suit which is not a four times. Also if you know anything about poker. You know that the outs are x2 with 2 cards to come. No wonder you went broke. Its one thing to squeeze money out of people on TH-cam. Its another to give bad information. You will go broke as he did if you use this type of play.
Yes, according to the chart, K5 off-suit or higher is a 4X. Read it again. I also never said you count the outs with 2 cards to come. Counting outs is only done after all the cards are dealt. Feel free to watch the video again!
This was super informative. Agree with the comment around betting 4x is optimal strategy vs. 3x. The 3x bet is there for bankroll management. Given the volatility of the game, if you sit down with a $400 bankroll at a $10/$15 dollar table, you may want to consider a 3x bet if you are looking to maximize time on game.
at 8:51 it is actually 23 outs instead of 24. As the Ace of hearts is already counted for as a higher high card, it can't be counted double to be also included in the flush.
The Seminole Casinos in Florida deal the 5 community cards first, then take the first two cards, with the players taking the second, third two cards, etc. This apparently gives them an edge as most regular players have noticed a higher house edge since they started doing this a few years ago.
A couple minor errors I made:
When calculating the outs for the flush draw example, I made a mistake. As one of the four Aces would be a heart, there would only be 8 additional outs, for a total of 23, not 24.
I also should have also said that when the dealer does not qualify, then the Ante pushes.

My favorite game in the casino. I had a royal flush once. Love this game.
Shouldn't expect to make money? Bro I doubled my money in 30 minutes of playing, at that point I feel like it comes down to player skill then.
It’s overall a house-edge game.
So the only question I have is "when does the kicker play" Sometimes i Push the dealer when we both have the same pair but a better kicker card and sometimes i lose same scenario. can anyone explain?
You have to make the best 5 card hand possible with your 2 cards and the 5 community cards. If you and the dealer have the same pair, then it goes to who has the higher card (the kicker).
Can you collude in Ultimate as the players? Feel like everyone would get a better edge counting the outs. I have a feeling it’s not allowed
Normally the game is dealt face down and colluding is not allowed. However when its only me at the table it makes no difference whether the cards are face up or down.
Do you recommend playing two hands at once for more info or only one hand?
What Casino was this video made at? I play at Hawaiian Garden and it has the same progressive
The progressive was from Cadillac Jack’s in Deadwood SD

when there are multiple players at the table is it ok to expose one's hole cards to the other players when playing or folding?
The game is usually dealt face down
Extremely valuable information
Nice video. I think I prefer Texas holdem bonus.
if you can find a table! Casinos seem to prefer Ultimate Texas Holdem so I suspect odds are more in favour of the casino.

This has become my favorite table game. Don't think you mentioned the requirement for the dealer to qualify. Excellent video though, thanks.

The Seminole Casinos in Florida deal the 5 community cards first, then take the first two cards, with the players taking the second, third two cards, etc. This apparently gives them an edge as most regular players have noticed a higher house edge since they started doing this a few years ago.
Statistically, it should make no difference if it's coming from a freshly shuffled deck. People are just observing variance in action.
