Three Cards Strategy For Online Let It Ride

Let It Ride is a poker based card game that can be played at all Australian online casinos. It is different from other such games in a unique way. Normally you can increase the stake as additional cards are dealt, if you find those cards favourable. Let It Ride operates exactly in the opposite manner.

You start the game by making three bets of equal size. You will be then be dealt three cards. You have to then decide if you want to pull your first bet back or “let it ride”. You will then be dealt the fourth card. Again you have to decide whether to pull one bet back or “let it ride”. Then you are dealt the final card. If your five card hand matches a winning hand in the payout table you will be paid accordingly on the remaining bets. Otherwise the bets on the table will be forfeited.

The payouts begin with a pair of tens or better, which pays even money. Then the usual poker hand rankings apply, which are: two pairs, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush and royal flush. Royal flush pays 1000 to 1. In Let It Ride you have to make decisions after being dealt three cards and after being dealt four cards. This article analyses and explains the three cards strategy.

If you have a winning hand in the three cards dealt first then obviously you must let the bets ride. There are two possibilities here. One is that you have a high card pair. In this online casino game a high card refers to a ten or a higher ranked card. This is because the payout begins with a pair of tens. The second winning hand is three of a kind.

If you do not have a winning hand you must let the bets ride only in the following situations. You should have three cards to a straight flush, with certain conditions. If the spread is five you should have at least two high cards. The spread is the difference between the highest and lowest ranked cards in the three cards dealt. The requirement of high cards gives the additional option of getting a high pair. If the spread is four it is better and so only one high card is needed. If the three cards are in a row, then no high cards are required. However do not let it ride on a suited 2-3-4. You should let it ride on any three to a royal flush.
