Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
Sigh, I guess I'm going to spoil the beans on how to really play this game. Pretty much, my starting hands consist of AA, KK, AK, KQ, and QQ. That's it. Suitedness has no effect as royals are so rare. It's of course a 20-card deck so your outs are like so:
After the flop: 1/15 = 1:14 2/15 = 1:7 3/15 = 1:4 4/15 = 1:2.75 5/15 = 1:2 After the turn: 1/14 = 1:13 2/14 = 6:1 3/14 = 3.7:1 4/14 = 2:5:1 Flopping a straight is an automuck in a full-table game. You are at best tied by the river. Bottom set is also pretty dangerous. Case in point: You have JJ flop shows KQJ You lose to KQ and QQ (albeit unlikely) if a Q or a K comes, and even if you aren't behind them, an AK or KQ can also pick up an Ace or King on the river. Your best shot here is to have runner-runner Tens. The only hands that would beat you then are the other pocket pairs KK and QQ. Middle set can be quite profitable if you know how to play it however. Case in point: You have QQ, the flop shows KQT If the board pairs the ten, you likely have the best hand unless you're up against KK. It's a very good way of getting a decent pot, and I play QQ for just this reason. If the K pairs however, you're losing to KT, KQ, and KJ and AK if they improve on the river. Top set and top two pair is what you should shoot for. With top two pair you have 4 outs twice (provided there are no royal draws and you don't run into quads), or (4/15)+(4/14)=55% which means you're a favorite from the flop. Bet/raise/cap. Top set, likewise. Unless you run into quads or the board shows a straight, you will win. Anywho, I know this is formatted pretty ugly, but I hope ya'll enjoy anyhow. -Boolean

Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
Why would you play KQ but not AQ?

Why would you play KQ but not AQ? [/ QUOTE ] He might not because the K can slip in there and give a higher full house. FWIW I think AQ is definitely a playable hand along with the others mentioned. Basically anything with a Ten or a Jack in it is unplayable for me.

Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
[ QUOTE ]
any other nuggets like this? or is it only AA flopped set that results in a situation /rule like this? [/ QUOTE ] Thinking this through a bit more, when you have a set you can not lose to a straight (for the reasons stated in my previous post) as the board will always pair or make the nut straight (which is the only straight you can make in this game btw). The great advantage to having AAA is that you cannot lose to a higher full house, which is obviously your greatest concern if you flop a lower set. I guess that when you flop a set you actually have either a straight or a full house... as its impossible to get to a showdown and just have a set. The same also applies to trips..you will always make a str8 or full house by the river. Also, the odds of flopping a set are 2.5:1, and the odds of making a set by the river are 1.2:1

Judging from the table chat, players are stumbling into the game not realizing the premise. I suspect we're in for a spate of "UB is rigged" posts. [/ QUOTE ] I was thinking the same thing. There have GOT to be people playing this game that don't realize that it's Royal. "Look at this hand history! What a run of cards!"
