Question about Ultimate Texas Hold'Em

[pooptarts92]

Ok I know I should avoid games like these but I enjoy playing it on occasion, me and the gf gamble like once a month. I'm just wondering the best way to play odds-wise? It has a Trips side bet (pays with trips or better) which is optional, and 2 forced bets (ante and blind, blind pays with straight or better but you must beat dealer). You can go 3 or 4 times your ante before the flop, 2x on the flop, and 1x or fold on the river.

Avoid the side bet. Here are a few versions of a decent basic strategy:

There is also some good advice and strategies in The Book.

In spite of these strategies, this is still a negative EV game. Correct?

but basic strategy helps you in decreasing your expected losses...

Correct, unless you have "information" as described in The Book.
