The dealer then deals the player and himself two hole cards. The player inspects his hole cards and decides whether to raise or check. This decision will be referred to as Decision Point 1. If the player chooses to raise, he must make an additional wager equal to 4 times the Ante bet, and cannot raise again for the rest of the hand.  \nIf the player chose to check at Decision Point 1, the dealer will deal 3 community cards face-up. The player may again choose to raise or check. This decision will be referred to as Decision Point 2. If the player chooses to raise, he must make an additional wager equal to 2 times the Ante bet, and cannot raise again for the rest of the hand.  \nIf the player chose to check at Decision Point 2, the dealer will deal 2 final community cards face-up. The player must now decide whether to raise or fold. This decision will be referred to as Decision Point 3. If the player chooses to raise, he must make an additional wager equal to his Ante bet. If he chooses to fold, he forfeits his Ante bet and Blind Bonus bet and the game ends.  \nIf the player raised at Decision Point 1 or 2, additional community cards are dealt until 5 community cards are exposed. The dealer reveals his hole cards, and bets are resolved as follows:  \n1. If the player and the dealer have the exact same hand, all bets push.  \n2. The Ante bet is resolved as follows:  \nA. If the dealer does not have a pair or better, the Ante bet pushes.  \nB. If the dealer has a pair or better, and has a better hand than the player, the Ante bet loses.  \nC. If the dealer has a pair or better, and the player’s hand is better, the Ante bet pays 1:1 .  \n3. The Raise bet is resolved as follows:  \nA. If the dealer’s hand is better than the player’s hand, the Raise bet loses.  \nB. If the player’s hand is better than the dealer’s hand, the Raise bet pays 1:1 .  \n4. The Blind Bonus bet is resolved as follows:  \nA. If the dealer’s hand is better than the player’s hand, the Blind Bonus bet loses.  \nB. If the player’s hand is better than the dealer’s hand, the Blind Bonus bet pays according to the following paytable:  \n\n| Hand | Prize |\n| --- | --- |\n| Royal Flush | 500:1 |\n| Straight Flush | 50:1 |\n| Four of a Kind | 10:1 |\n| Full House | 3:1 |\n| Flush | 3:2 |\n| Straight | 1:1 |\n| All Other | Push |\n\nBasic Strategy  \nThe fewer cards that have been dealt, the easier the strategy. The table for Decision Point 1 on page 3 represents perfect play for that decision, and should be memorized. Decision Points 2 and 3 are more complicated, however, most of the optimal plays for these decision points can be summarized with the following two rules:  \n1. Do not raise if you are “playing the board”with a hand that uses kickers (see table below) . For example, if your hole cards are 2r 6w and the flop is ae aw ar , you are in a weak position. However, there are several exceptions to this rule, which are incorporated into the Advanced Strategy tables for Decision Points 2 and 3.  \n2. Always raise a hand that does not use kickers (see table below) . Even if the 5 community cards form the hand, the chances of the dealer having a card which will beat it are never high enough to warrant checking or folding. Thus, there are no exceptions to this rule.  \n\n| Hand | Kickers |\n| --- | --- |\n| Royal Flush | None |\n| Straight Flush | None |\n| Four of a Kind | 1 |\n| Full House | None |\n| Flush | None |\n| Straight | None |\n| Three of a Kind | 2 |\n| Two Pair | 1 |\n| One Pair | 3 |\n| No Pair | 5 |\n\nPerfect Strategy—Decision Point 1  \n\n| Hole Cards | Rank(s) | Strategy |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Pair | 2’s | Check |\n|  | All other | Raise |\n| Suited | Ace + any | Raise |\n|  | King + any | Raise |\n|  | Queen + 6 or better | Raise |\n|  | Jack + 8 or better | Raise |\n|  | All other | Check |\n| Unsuited | Ace + any | Raise |\n|  | King + 5 or better | Raise |\n|  | Queen + 8 or bet","cbCaiuCGiLGsVTYD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuCGiLGsVTYD","pdf",89085,9,"English","# Overview\n# Basic Strategy\n# Perfect Strategy—Decision Point 1\n# Advanced Strategy—Decision Point 2","[{\"question\":\"What happens if I raise at Decision Point 1 or 2?\",\"answer\":\"If you raise at Decision Point 1 or Decision Point 2, you must add an additional wager equal to 4×Ante or 2×Ante respectively, and you cannot raise again for the rest of the hand.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the Ante, Raise, and Blind Bonus bets resolved after all community cards are dealt?\",\"answer\":\"Hand comparisons determine each bet: ties push, and otherwise the dealer or player wins according to whether each bet’s winning condition is met; the Blind Bonus bet uses a specific paytable for high hands like Royal Flush and Straight Flush.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the basic kicker rules for deciding whether to raise or check?\",\"answer\":\"Do not raise when you are “playing the board” with kickers; always raise hands that do not use kickers, with the document stating there are no exceptions to this kicker-based raise rule.\"}]","Ultimate Texas Hold’em Strategy - Perfect, Advanced, and Basic Strategy | PDF",1791913859]
