Acey Deucey clarification (5 Viewers)

[nobahdie]

Not sure which thread this belongs in but this seems close enough. I just learned about Acey Deucey recently but I'm slightly confused about the betting. The way I understand it is that say the pot is $6.00 and you bet $1.00. If you win you get the $6.00, but if you lose you lose $1.00. What's stopping you from betting whatever the minimum bet is every time? If you had bet $0.25 into the $6.00 pot wouldn't you have still won the whole $6.00 or am I missing something? The only way the betting would seem to make sense to me is if you can only get paid out 1:1, so if you bet $1.00 into $6.00 you can only win $1.00 and not the whole $6.00.

This is how it works. 1:1 bet to payout.

If you bet $1 and win you only get $1!

If you bet pot and hit the post, you pay DOUBLE!! An eaxample is gettin A 2 as your cards with a $6 pot, and hitting another 2. You put $12 into the pot. It's a really fun game.

It's a really fun game.

As someone who has posted when dealt "acey deucey", strongly disagree.

The need to feel alive, if only for a moment!

I was trying to be sarcastic, I am terrified of the game! I once played it with a double deck of 104 cards!

There's something hilarious about an acey deucy thread being in the poker strategy forum.

Using 2 or 3 is the way to go. much harder to count cards...

Last time I played this I was 17. I’m 68 and do not miss it.

It’s more savage when you have to declare your bet before the cards are dealt (with option to fold) and then double that bet if you want to proceed. Pots tend to grow pretty quick and posts are devastating.

 

[BPTDirector]

The worst - you call the first Ace high or low. You call high. Second Ace comes, high by default. Ties AA we played that as 4X bet loss.

Thank you guys for the responses! The person who explained it to me did not mention the 1:1 payout thing, then when I thought about it later I realized it didn't make sense without that rule.

Oh that game can go straight to hell.
