Let It Ride Rules and Strategy

Let It Ride, known as Poker Ride at Microgaming casinos, is a fun and exciting poker variation that is easy to learn and play correctly.

Let It Ride Rules

Let It Ride begins with each player making 3 different bets all of equal size. Three cards are then dealt face down to each player, and two community cards (used by all players) are placed face down on the table. After looking at their 3 dealt cards, each player has the option to take back one of their 3 ante bets, or “let it ride”, and leave all three bets in action. After each player has acted, the dealer will flip over one of the community cards, at which point players will again have the option to pull back another bet, or “let it ride”. Please note that all players are eligible to remove one of their bets at this point, regardless if you removed a bet on the first opportunity. The second community card is then flipped over and players are paid out according to the following pay table.
