Ultimate Texas Hold’em Decision Reference
A compact street-by-street reference for the standard Ante/Blind game. Includes assumptions, worked examples, and links to the relevant methodology.
Scope: This is a simplified practical strategy, not a composition-perfect solver output. Trips and progressive wagers are separate bets.
| Decision point | Raise when… | Otherwise |
|---|---|---|
| Preflop · 4× | Pairs 33+; any ace; K5+ or any suited king; Q8+ or suited Q6+; JT or suited J8+. Use 4× rather than 3×. | Check |
| Flop · 2× | Two pair or better; a pair involving a hole card except pocket deuces; four to a flush with a hole-card 10 or higher of that suit. | Check |
| River · 1× | A pair involving a hole card or better; otherwise 20 or fewer individual dealer cards that beat you. This shortcut omits two-card combinations. | Fold |
Before you play
- A 4× raise is available only before the flop.
- Checking preserves later 2× and 1× decisions.
- Dealer qualification changes Ante settlement, not the Play wager result.
