maybe its not like that everywhere but at my casino i am 101% sure thats how it works here. thats the whole point of tucking them--you are "playing the board." Your cards don't even get looked at. You could have the 4th ace in your hand with 3 aces on the board and if you tuck them under the trips bet you will only get paid on 3 of a kind.

i mean you could tuck them without the board having trips or better i guess, but since youre only playing trips or better you...

That's a new twist. I'll have to ask at work if a hand has to be on the board to tuck the cards and play just the trips. We always check the player's cards and, to my knowledge, they are allowed to play something not on the board. We don't advertise that move, though, and maybe only once have I seen a person tuck his card under trips for a hand that wasn't on the board. I believe the board had an open-ended straight flush and he had the low card for a straight.

Lets say flop comes 567 of spades, turn/river comes 8 of spades and a 2 of hearts. Player 1 has pocket 2s (no spade). Decides he doesn't want to play against the dealer and he'll just take his small win on the trips bet. Now what happens? He tucks his cards under the trips, but there's no hand on the board that qualifies for the trips bonus.

He can't tuck...

The casino where I work has introduced Ultimate Texas hold'em one year ago. If the board shows a hand that qualifies for the trips bet (3-of-a-kind or better) and the player did not want to make the play bet, he can tuck his cards under the trips bet and the dealer takes the ante and blind bets. It's just like when he folds, but the trips bet stays. After the showdown his trips bet is paid e.g. if 3-of-a-kind is on the board he gets 3:1. His cards go facedown to the discard since...

Fellow dealer called me up and asked me about an UTH policy that he just learned of. He's dealing and he put trips on the board. A player had $5 on the trips, blind, and ante. On the river the player didn't feel they had a hand worth playing against the dealer though, so he tucks his cards under the trips, dealer takes the blind and ante bet. Hand is flipped over, dealer pays the trips. Floor says in that situation the dealer shouldn't expose dead cards and should just pay...
