Limit Holdem Poker Rules - 2 to 10 Players. Each player is then dealt a two card hand. Then the player at the left of the big blind is first to act and he must either call the big blind's $2 bet, raise, or fold his hand. Continuing in turn clockwise, all the players around the table either call, raise or fold. Luckily, there is a simpler method which is more than just useful. It is simply known as the rule of 2 and 4 and it has been used by many players for a long period of time. Rule of 4 and 2 Poker. By calculating the odds you may have, you can decide should you fold, call or rise and should you continue playing. The rule in question is simple. We can use the Rule of 4 and 2, which will allow us to closely approximate our equity at the table, in the following way: On the flop, multiply your outs by 4 to get our equity on the flop. On the turn, multiply your outs by 2 to get our equity on the turn. So, on the flop, the rule of 4 tells us we have approximately 36% equity.

Rules[edit]

Before the action, each player must add their ante into the pot. Two cards are then dealt face-up to one player. That player then bets from nothing to the amount that is in the pot at the time whether or not the third card will numerically fall in between the first two. If the third card falls in between the two other cards, the bettor takes the amount he bet out of the pot; if the third card falls outside of the two other cards, the bettor must add what he bet to the pot; and if the third card matches the numerical value of one of the other two cards, the bettor must add to the pot double what they bet. If two cards of the same value come up, e.g. 2,2 the bettor picks if the next card will be higher or lower and bets. If the next card is the same as the last two, i.e. a 2, the bettor must triple their bet.

Regionally specific rules[edit]

The rules and specifics of the game often vary from region to region. For example in Liaoning province, northeast China the minimum number of players is 4 and each player is required to ante before the first card is turned. Two cards are then dealt face-up to one player. That player then bets from nothing to the amount that is in the pot at the time (during the first time around the table players are only allowed to bet up to half of the pot) whether or not the third card will numerically fall in between the first two. Other regions, such as in the United States, play the game by combining two decks of cards. This adds another dynamic to the game due to the extra number of similar type cards. Beyond that, most of the other rules followed by United States players are similar to those which are observed in the Liaoning province.

Just about all regions play if the third card falls in between the two other cards, the bettor takes the amount he bet out of the pot; if the third card falls outside of the two other cards, the bettor must add what he bet to the pot; and if the third card matches the numerical value of one of the other two cards, this is referred to as a 'Post' and the bettor must add to the pot double his initial bet. If two cards of the same value come up, e.g. 2,2 the bettor picks if the next card will be higher or lower and bets. If the next card is the same as the last two, i.e. a 2, this is considered a 'Post' and the player is required to pay triple the bet for the hand.

Aces[edit]

In addition to this, there is a special rule for Aces. If the first card turned is an Ace the player may choose its value as either the high Ace or the low one. Low Ace is always lower than any other card, including the deuce. If an Ace comes up as the second card turned it is always considered the high Ace. If a player 'Posts' on an Ace they are required to pay four times their bet for that hand. Aces also cause an automatic loss if it is the third card turned when the first two cards are a match, e.g. 6,6. The best spread in the game is considered to be a low Ace on the left and a high Ace on the right. This is also one of the worst hands to get as you run the risk of the third card being an Ace and having to pay four times your bet for the hand.

Strategy[edit]

Players attempting to middle two posts with a spread of less than 8 will show a long term loss. (Where ${\displaystyle n}$ is the spread between the posts (i.e., the value of the higher card minus the value of the lower card), ${\displaystyle 4(n-1)=4(11-(n-1))+2\times 2\times 3}$ solves to a break-even point of 8.0.)

Variations[edit]

A variation is to split the cards if two end cards are the same value. This requires the bettor to ante in for two hands and the dealer would draw one more card under each of the end cards. After this, the same rules apply.

Some new rules that increase payouts and betting:

• Blind Pot - Bet the pot before your 2 outside cards are placed. In the case of a win, you win the pot. If you are outside of your cards you lose half the pot. If you post you have to pay the full amount of the pot.
• 'AutoPot' - Any A-2 played as your outside cards automatically make the player bet the full amount of the pot.
• Post Bet - You can bet that your inside card will match one of your outside cards. In the case of this you win the full pot and in addition each player pays an equal percentage to match the pot. Therefore, the player that post would win 2x the pot. If the player bets the post and misses he owes half the amount of the pot to the pot.
• Satan 6s - Any player that gets 6-6-6 as their cards must pay 6x the amount of the pot to the pot.

In popular culture[edit]

The game show Card Sharks is based on Acey Deucey and closely resembles the rules.^{[citation needed]} In the show, two players answer high-low survey questions, and guess whether the next card is higher or lower (with duplicates counting as wrong).

Acey-ducey is often mentioned in the book series The Corps by W.E.B. Griffin which is set in the Pacific Theater of World War II, and follows the lives of a group of marines in special service. Griffin never explains the game in the slightest, but his characters are often playing it when they are interrupted by the war, i.e. required to stop playing to perform some duty.

In 1978 a type-in programBASICvideo game version was distributed via the book BASIC Computer Games.^[2]

An unsold 1985 game show pilot hosted by Jim McKrell, entitled Split Decision, had contestants playing the game Acey Deucey while answering general knowledge questions. Each player picked a card to share and had their own base card, and tried to fit a card in or bust the other player.

The game is also frequently mentioned on Barstool Sports' Spittin’ Chiclets podcast, hosted Ryan Whitney, Rear Admiral, and Paul Bissonnette. According to Whitney and Bissonnette, both former NHL players, the game is regularly played on team flights and bus rides.

Aug 08, 2018  The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel has been engaged in a multi-year court battle with the state of California thanks to the tribe’s launch of its the Desert Rose online bingo site in November 2014. In addition to bingo, Santa Ysabel also talked up an online poker launch (the launch never came to pass). Iipay nation online poker report. The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel had their hopes up to offer online bingo and poker activities in the state of California but were shot down by the Ninth Circuit Court. The California tribe has been battling it out with federal regulators for years over the launch of its Desert Rose online bingo website. What is interesting is that, according to Online Poker Report, the tribe still believes it will eventually win the day and will be able to offer real money online gaming, including online poker. In November 2014, the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel, located on the Santa Ysabel Indian Reservation about a 55 mile drive northeast from San Diego. Operations and play are under the management of the Iipay Nation and under the strict regulation of the Santa Ysabel Tribal Gaming Commission. The Iipay Nation is the owner and operator of Desert Rose Bingo. This new licensing venture has created the nation’s first web browser-based i-Gaming platform.

Super Bonus Bet

The next table summarizes the Ante, Play, and Super Bonus bets. The sum shows the player can expect to lose 3.48% for every hand played, compared to the size of his Ante (or Super Bonus) bet. For example, if the player started with $10 on both the Ante and Super Bonus, then he could expect to lose 34.8¢, assuming optimal strategy.

Summary

The next table shows the net overall win between the Ante, Play, and Super Bonus under optimal player strategy.

Net Win

The bottom right cell of the table above shows a house edge of 3.42%. This is the ratio of the expected player loss to the Ante bet. One might argue that since the Super Bonus bet is required I define the house edge as the expected loss to the sum of the required starting bets. However, in the interests of consistency with how the term is defined in other games, I choose to base the house edge on the Ante only. So, for every $100 you bet on the Ante you can expect to lose $3.42 between the Ante, Raise, and Super Bonus combined.

The standard deviation is 3.13, based on the Ante bet.

Overall the player has a 18.56% chance of making a big raise, 57.93% for a small raise, and 23.51% for folding, for an average final wager of 3.14 units. Thus, the element of risk of the game (ratio of expected loss to average total bet) is 3.42%/3.14 = 1.09%.

Queens Up

As far as I know, there are four pay tables available for the Queens Up, according to the choice of casino management. Most Las Vegas casinos use pay table 4.
