Let it Ride

[eejit101]

I'm looking for a winning strategy for this game. Obviously if you start with a pair you should let it ride no matter what, but is there a any other starting hand where you should let it ride: like three to a flush or straight. I have played nearly 1000 hands in the past week and haven't gotten a straight or a flush even once. Got a fullhouse a few times though.

Get a life!!!!

After a few thousand hands myself, i quit let it ride. However i have had amazing luck with tri-card poker. I always bet the pair or better becuase that is where the money is at. I bet 25 bucks on pair+ and got three of a kind which paid a whole chit load like 250 bucks orr something like that.

the best luck i had with it is to only raise when you hit 10 or better........thats the only way to win.....you can bet on your three flush but you will lose a lot....wait till you get trips or a pair.....i start out with 5 chip bets and if i am running bad i ethier leave or up it to 10 then 15 to you hit a monster.....

Let it Ride is a lot like Texas Hold'Em or other poker games, with a Flop, Turn, and River card. The difference is that you are not given any hole cards to help you make a hand. How the game works is this: you place a bet before being dealt the flop. In this game, only pairs with 10's or better win, aside from multiple pairs or a full house. Once you are dealt the flop, you are given the option to either raise or check, and then given that same option on the Turn and River. After all cards are dealt, your hand is scored based on the cards you were dealt, with a high pair being the lowest and a royal flush being the best hand, just like poker.

Strategy wise, the best method I have come up with for playing the game is to "let it ride" on the flop- that is, check through- unless you are dealt three high cards on the flop. If you are, say 10 A K, then it is profitable to you to raise before the turn card. If the turn card fails to give you a winning hand, go back to checking on the river. If you get a hand at any point during the game you will still earn chips. If, on the other hand, say the flop already has a pair of Jacks or something that is already a winning hand, you'll want to raise both the turn and the river, as you'll earn more money even if you only end up with that high pair.

I hope that makes sense to everyone wondering about this game! I've had both good and bad luck with it, but on the whole it has been profitable for me to play so far.

I love let it ride. My favorite game in the casinos is carribean stud, and its kinda like that, Ive played a lot of hands and havent even hit a straight or a flush.. no matter. Cant stop playing that or blackjack. I figure the only strategy would be to only raise with 3 high cards off the bat, or connectors and suited cards with one or two higher than the ten u have to hit for the pair. other than that a little bet variance (which is complete luck) and youll do well. Ive done alright, so i guess thats somethin
