Since the introduction of online casinos many casino games have staged something of a comeback in terms of popularity, none more so than poker. Playing poker online has become one of the most popular activities at the online casinos, with the Texas Hold’em format leading the way. There are however many other forms of poker available at the online casinos some of which may be more appealing to those of us on a limited budget. One example is ‘Let it Ride’, a poker format currently offered by Ladbrokes, Bet365 and the new All Irish casino, which is played against the house and enables the player to fix a maximum stake on each hand. Playing Let it Ride at an online casino requires the player to place three equal bets of at least the minimum table stake before the cards are dealt. Three cards are then dealt face up from a standard 52 card deck, followed by two blind community cards in the centre of the table. The player then has the opportunity to remove one of the initial bets if the face up hand is unlikely to win when combined with the two blind cards. It should be noted that a winning hand in Let it Ride poker online is usually a minimum of two tens. One of the two blind cards is then revealed and the player can again remove one of the initial stakes or let it ride. The second blind card is then turned over and a winning hand is paid out at fixed odds against the remaining stake on the table. If you fancy the idea of playing poker at an online casino but are wary of the risks involved with formats such as Texas Hold’em, Let it Ride may be the casino game for you because you can’t lose more than your initial stake on each hand.
