The same base game, with some minor rule changes, is also distributed by Galaxy Gaming under the name Heads Up Hold 'Em. This game was invented by Roger Snow of Shuffle Master. Unlike other poker-based games, raises made after the ante still have action, even if the dealer doesn't open. The earlier the raise is made the higher it may be. Ultimate Texas Hold'em® is a poker-based casino game in which the player may make one raise at any time during the course of the hand. For the standard version, allowing the player to raise 4x before the flop, please see my page on Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em. This version can be found at the Scarlet Pearl casino in Biloxi, MS. This page covers a variant of Ultimate Texas Hold'em® where the player may raise 3x only before the flop.
