Exploring the Basic Rules of Super Texas Hold'em for Beginners

Before you hit play, we say you brush through the fundamental rules of Super Hold'em. That said, since it is derived from Texas Hold'em, Super Hold'em adheres to most of the same rules as Texas Hold’em.

Here's a quick overview.

Hole Cards

Each player on the table is dealt three hole cards, which remain private and hidden from their opponents. To form your winning hand in Super Hold’em, you must use at least one of your hole cards in combination with the shared community cards.

How Do You Play Super Texas Hold'em?

The Betting procedure includes four rounds and follows the standard Texas Hold'em procedure. These rounds are:

Pre-flop

Action in Super Texas Hold'em kicks off with the blinds. The two players seated on the dealer’s left post the big blind and the small blind respectively. The amount of the big blind is typically twice the small blind.

The blinds are paid by the first two players to initiate action so that players have something in the pot to play for. The game's online format ensures automatic card distribution and chip allocation to ensure a seamless gaming experience.

Players can choose to call (match the previous bet), raise (increase the bet), or fold (give up the current hand) based on their hole cards. Players can also ‘check’ instead of betting of they wish to pass action to the next participant without betting any new poker chips to the pot. The option to check is only available if none of the players has made any new bets in the current round.

Flop

The second round is called the flop. Once the Pre-flop betting ends, the dealer reveals the first three community cards on the board. All poker players can see and use the community cards to make their five card hand.

Players continue to evaluate their hands and choose to call, raise more chips or simply fold based on the strength of their poker hand. They can use the 'check' option once again.

Turn

The 'turn' is the third betting round in which the dealer introduces the fourth community card. The betting options are the same as previous rounds. The remaining players who are still active in the hand call, raise or fold their cards. Like before, players can check until no new bet has been placed during the round.

River

Finally, the dealer reveals the fifth and last community card on the table. This card is known as the 'river'. The betting choices are identical to those in the previous three rounds.

Showdown in Super Hold’em Poker

Once all five community cards are placed face up on the table, the showdown follows, where remaining players reveal their hands. The player with the best five-card poker hand among all players claims the pot. In case, all players except one fold their hands, that players wins the pot uncontested.

Strategies for Success in Super Hold'em

Due to the presence of one extra hole card in Super Hold’em poker, the common strategies applied in Texas Hold’em might fall short and sometimes work against you. As such, you must tweak your approach to accommodate the Super twist and strategize accordingly.

Starting Hand Selection

With three hole cards, you have more potential combinations to work with. Start with strong hands that have the potential to make high-ranking five-card hands such as Flush and Full House. Four of a Kind and Straight Flush are not uncommon in Super Hold’em!

Pairs, suited cards and connectors are still valuable to form hands such as Flush, Straight and Full House. However, if you are faced with a big raise pre-flop, its better to fold small pairs and off suit connectors as they are most likely to be beat with stronger hands.

Position Play

Just like in Texas Hold'em, your position at the table is crucial. Play tighter in early positions and more aggressively in late positions. If you have a strong pair such as Pocket Kings or Pocket Aces along with a decent kicker such as Jack or Queen, raise big pre-flop from late positions to eliminate opponents who can challenge you on the later rounds.

When you have more information about your opponents' actions in late positions, do not be afraid to play out to your advantage in Super Hold'em. Aggressiveness is key when you have a strong hand.

Observe the Community Cards

Pay close attention to the community cards as they are revealed. Since you have more hole cards, think about all possible combinations that can form a strong hand based on the community cards and adapt your strategy accordingly.

For example, if you have a flush draw on the flop, but you see a pair on the turn, consider your opponent having a Full House if they raise big on that street. To avoid this situation altogether, you must bet big on the flop to complete your draw without being challenged with a stronger hand in later rounds.

Bluffing and Semi-Bluffing

Bluffing is essential in Super Hold’em like all poker variants, but now you have more opportunities to semi-bluff. Semi-bluffing involves betting or raising with a hand that has the potential to improve with additional community cards. So, to bet successfully, you need to be aware of board texture and use it to your advantage.

For instance, if you have flush draw and a straight draw on the flop and you need one more card to complete either of them, With such a strong drawing hand, it makes sense that you raise big on the flop to build the pot and extract maximum value.

Pot Control

Since Super Hold’em Hold’em is mostly about drawing big hands, you need to be mindful of pot control. Do not blindly raise or call large bets without having a strong hand. Its wise to check or fold when facing significant aggression if you lack a strong five-card hand.

Observe the Players

In Super Hold’em, observing your opponents become even more crucial to make informed decisions. Check the player stats on the poker app, and find opportunities to exploit their weaknesses or capitalize on their mistakes. There will be players who tend to overvalue their hands or are too aggressive without a strong hand to back them up. Target them to maximize your profits.

Variance and Bankroll

With more possible combinations, comes more variance in Super Hold'em. Manage your bankroll prudently and avoid going all-in recklessly at all costs, especially when you are playing from an early position. Keep your emotions in check when in a tricky spot and fold when you’re unsure. Wait for strong hole cards where you can bet and win handsome amounts.
