What You Get at a Cutthroat Table
Cutthroat is still Texas Hold'em at heart, but every seat pays an ante before the cards come out, so the pot has weight from hand one. That changes the maths. You are not heads-up against a single opponent — several players can stay in, and a hand that looks strong can be beaten from three directions at once. Tight starting hands, late
position and disciplined bet sizing do more for you here than fancy bluffs. Each seat card shows the stakes and the ante before you commit. Tables are dealt by studios such as Evolution and Pragmatic Play, and the lobby opens on your phone with the same seat card you get on a bigger screen.
