Standard Blind structure
A commonly published Blind table pays 500:1 for a royal flush, 50:1 for a straight flush, 10:1 for four of a kind, 3:1 for a full house, 3:2 for a flush, and 1:1 for a straight.
A winning hand below a straight normally pushes Blind. Dealer wins lose the wager.
Blind sensitivity
Reducing one premium payout changes base-game return even though the optimal decision chart may change little or not at all.
Maximum payout caps can also reduce rare-hand value for large wagers.
Trips
Trips commonly pays whenever the final seven-card availability makes three of a kind or better, regardless of whether the player beats the dealer.
Pay tables vary in royal, straight-flush, and quad awards. Some add mini-royal or progressive categories.
Combined exposure
Ante, Blind, Play, and Trips can put several units at risk on one deal. Expected loss and variance should be calculated for each component, then combined according to the planned wagers.
Never quote the element of risk for the base game as the edge of Trips.
The label is not the specification
For UTH Blind and Trips Pay Tables, ante, Blind and Play settle differently, while Trips and progressives are separate products. Mixing them hides where the cost comes from.
Separate Ante, Blind, Play, dealer qualification, the Blind pay table, and side bets before evaluating an Ultimate Texas Hold’em claim.
