Wild Hold’em Fold’em
WildHoldemFoldemPoker.jpgThe closest game to compare this to is Let it Ride. However in this game the player must keep raising to stay in or fold, and the deuces are wild. The house edge and element of risk are rather high, so play at your own risk.

The Rules
The game is played with a single deck of cards, which is shuffled after every hand.
The player begins by placing an ante bet in the 'ante' square.
Player receives three cards face down.
After looking at cards player must decide to either bet or fold. If the player folds he forfeits his ante. If player bets he must put an amount equal to the ante in the 'bet' square.
All players who bet receive a fourth card.
After examining the four-card hand all players still in must decide to raise or fold. If player folds he forfeits both the ante and bet. If player raises he must place an amount equal to double the ante in the 'raise' square.
All players still in the game receive a fifth and final card, which pays according to the pay table below.
