During the hold ‘em poker craze that began when Chris Moneymaker won the World Series of Poker in 2003, there was a rush to bring poker variants to the casino floor. Four Card Poker (FCP) was introduced in the height of the poker craze. For several years it wasn’t clear which poker games would succeed.

One of the most massive games to analyze is Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker (THB). The game has a huge cycle, consisting of 55,627,620,048,000 (more than 55 trillion) different possible final hands.  The cycle for hole-card play, knowing one of the dealer’s two cards, is even larger at 111,255,240,096,000 (more than 111 trillion) different possible final hands.

Heads-Up Hold'em (HUH) is a novelty game with rules very similar to Ultimate Texas Hold'em (UTH) (see this post and this post).

Heads-Up Hold'em (HUH) is just Ultimate Texas Hold'em (UTH) with a 3x pre-Flop raise and a bad-beat payout on the mandatory "Odds" = "Blind" wager. Its analysis in every case follows the same logical structure.

I spent yesterday and today doing the research, programming and writing up an article on the "Slingo Bonus Bet 21" blackjack side bet. This wager is nearly extinct and there's a good reason for that. The first draft of the article is complete, but I need to double-check everything.

Though the game of baccarat appears quite safe to the untrained eye, there are many ways that APs attack baccarat. Some of these methods are targets of opportunity, for example dealers who expose the first card of the next round. Others occur because of perks for high rollers, like dead-chip or loss-rebate programs.
