Let it Ride rules detailed
Let It Ride poker is based on the five card stud poker game. The players
do not play against the dealer or any other player. Each player is
dealt 3 cards, and the remaining 2 card are community cards, that
every player uses to complete his or her hand. All bets must be placed
prior to the dealer announcing "No more bets." Each player places
3 equal bets in the 3 betting circles.
Each player and the dealer receives 3 cards face down. The dealer
places one of his or her cards in the discard tray. The remaining
2 cards are called the community cards. After looking at his or
her 3 cards, each player will be asked by the dealer if he or she
wishes to take back the first bet or "Let It Ride." After all players
have made their decisions, the dealer turns up one community card.
Each Player will be asked by the dealer if he or she wishes to
take back the second bet or "Let It Ride." After all players have
made their decisions, the dealer reveals the second community card
and turns over each player's cards. After all losing wagers have
been collected, all winning hands are paid by the dealer, according
to the payout table.
