Hole Card Betting

Are you on a lucky streak where you have big hands, pairs and aces that you can enjoy playing? Or do you think all hands are garbage and go straight to the trash? With closed hand betting, you can now bet on what you will get in the next round.

  1. AA (200/1) - Sometimes you can feel them coming, the missiles, American Airlines, Boots, Nizzles or as WPT legend Vince van Petten would say, "weapons of mass destruction". Bet that you will have aces in the next round and win 200 times your bet. The bet is a winner even if your aces break!
  2. Any Pair (16/1) - You would prefer to have AA, but any pair can generally be played in a cash game. Bet on Any Pair on the next hand - whether you have AA, 22 or any pair in between - and win 16 times your bet,
  3. Ace (6.5/1) - Ace-high is a winning hand for many in a cash game. Whether you have A2 offsuit or a nice pair of aces, ace pays 6.5 times your bet. You're still a winner even if you have a rag hand that you play before the flop!
  4. Ace or King (3.3/1) - Don't you need half a hand soon? If so, you can bet that you will get an Ace or King, and if you get an Ace or King, you will receive 3.3 times your bet. You may decide that your hand is still unplayable, but the bet must be paid!
  5. No Ace/King/Pair (1.4/1) - Do you get screwed in every hand? Are you considering playing it just because it's been a long time since you played a hand? Maintain discipline and throw it in the trash, but make some money by betting that you won't get an ace, king or pair. If you do, you'll receive 1.4 times your bet.
