About Ultimate Poker

License

Ultimate Poker became the first-ever legal online poker site in the United States when it opened its virtual doors in April 2013. Within six months, it already had hosted both live and online tournament series and released a huge software update that added features and gave the software a facelift. Ultimate Poker is nothing if not fast and aggressive.

Company

Ultimate Poker hopes to draw fans from the world's most popular mixed-martial-arts company, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which is owned by parent company Fertitta Entertainment. Fertitta, which runs the Stations Casinos in and around Las Vegas, founded Ultimate Gaming in 2010.

Interactive Gaming Partners

Ultimate Poker is working with the Trump Taj Mahal in New Jersey to launch the New Jersey version of Ultimate Poker. For now, New Jersey and Nevada do not share players, though this could change eventually.

Rewards Program

Color UP

The Ultimate Poker rewards program, Color UP, features 10 tiers. All but the top two tiers requires a monthly accumulation of points, which are earned by playing raked hands or tournaments, which earns XP points. The top two tiers (Gold and Platinum) are based on the yearly accumulation of XP points. Along with XP points, players earn U-Points. U-Points are earned based on the player's tier level. U-Points can be redeemed for bonuses, merchandise, and other rewards.

Are we missing something?

Ultimate Texas Hold’em is one of the most popular live and online casino games for poker players.

One big reason is that if you know what you are doing, the game will feature one of the lowest house edges of any casino game.

Half the battle is just knowing the basic rules of Texas Hold’em, particularly the hand rankings which are common in most poker games.

About Ultimate Texas Hold’em

Ultimate Texas Hold’em was developed by Roger Stone of Shuffle Master and similar formats are also known under other names including Heads Up Hold’em distributed by Galaxy Gaming.

If you have learned the basic rules of Texas Hold’em, you will quickly pick up on how to play Ultimate Texas Hold’em with the hand rankings and each player holding two hole cards being the same in both games.

As this is a casino, the house will have an edge. Players should experience plenty of winning sessions, but unlike regular Texas Hold’em, players are competing against the house and not a player.

What you might not know about Ultimate Texas Hold’em is that if it is played correctly it has one of the lowest house edges among any casino game at around 2%.

Reasons to play Unlimited Texas Hold’em

Low house edge of around 2% when following basic strategy
Fun to play alone or with friends
Similar to Texas Hold’em
Can play for just a few minutes
Potential to win big

Read on to learn more about the rules of Ultimate Texas Hold’em and how to optimize your play to reduce the house edge to almost nothing.

How to Play Ultimate Texas Hold’em

Usually, you can play Ultimate Texas Hold’em at a casino with up to six players and a dealer (also known as the house).

The game utilizes a standard 52 card deck. Although online, you will find many heads-up games where you will compete one-on-one against the house.

Each player must post an ante and a blind before each hand begins. You will see posted minimums and maximums. Keep in mind that your bet must be the same for both of these and that it will also serve as a base for other bets as the hand progresses.

Therefore, we recommend when first getting your feet wet to bet as small as possible to further the power of your bankroll. You can always adjust with higher bets once you feel comfortable that you have optimized your game.

There are also optional side bets which can vary from casino to casino including the Trips bet you can place before the hand is dealt which we will get into later.

Two cards are dealt to each player and the dealer after the initial Ante and Blind bets are placed.

Remember, hand rankings are the exact same as Texas Hold’em.

Check out our detailed description of how to play Texas Hold’em to brush up on Hold’em hand rankings.

You can decide to bet three times or four times the Ante and place the bet into the Play box or check before the flop comes.

A flop is then dealt and you will have an option whether to bet two times the Ante bet or check once again.

The turn and river are dealt one after the other and you will have one last option on whether to place a bet equal to the Ante in the Play box or to fold the hand.

There is a bit of basic strategy that you should either memorize or have a chart with you while playing to best optimize when to bet in the Play box, when to check, and when to fold.

Players that folded after the river was dealt will automatically lose their Ante and Blind bet.

Those remaining in the hand will turn over their cards as will the dealer. If you have a better Texas Hold’em hand than the dealer you win the Play bet for the same amount as bet.

The Blind bet can also only be won if you have won the hand. Assuming this is the case, it is paid out on a sliding scale and can be worth as much as 50 to 1 for a straight flush. However, if you don’t have a straight or better, you will simply just get your bet back as a push.

Here is a look at the potential different payouts of the Blind bet which can vary slightly from casino to casino.

Hand	Payout
Royal flush	500 to 1
Straight flush	50 to 1
Four of a kind	10 to 1
Full House	3 to 1
Flush	3 to 2
Straight	1 to 1
