Ultimate Texas Hold’em
Dealer poker reworked as a quick club showdown.
How to play
- 01
Deal two private cards to each challenger, two to a common dealer, and a five-card community board.
- 02
Run out the board as flop, turn and river. Each hand uses any five of its two private cards and the five board cards.
- 03
Each challenger scores +1 for beating the common dealer, 0 for a tie, −1 for losing. Compare challenger scores.
- 04
If the scores match, replay. This simplified club adaptation has no ante, blind, play raises, dealer qualification or bonus paytable.
Equal scores replay a completely new round.
Standard five-card high-poker rankings
Royal flush → straight flush → four of a kind → full house → flush → straight → three of a kind → two pair → one pair → high card.
Compare the rank of the made combination first, then kickers from highest downward. Suits are equal. Aces can be high or low in a straight, but cannot wrap around. Short Deck, lowball, Three Card Poker, Four Card Poker and Poker Dice use their own rankings.
AFTER THE GAME
Cards down. Phones up.
The winner proposes the agreed collaboration share on the loser’s first qualifying prospect. Both call counters start at zero. The loser can cancel the proposed split by completing the agreed redemption challenge before its cutoff. The actual work and contribution still determine earned credit.
