Optimal Strategy
Let It Ride may seem very complex, but the decisions you have to make are very simple.
Decision 1
- If you have a pair of tens or better on the flop, then Let It Ride! Keep your original three bets on the table.
- If you have worse than a pair of tens, then pull your bet. Take away one of the original three bets on the table.
Decision 2
- If you have a pair of tens or better on the turn, then Let It Ride! Keep your previous bets on the table.
- If you have worse than a pair of tens, then pull your bet. Take away one of the remaining two bets on the table.
