I had never heard of this. I thought you must be mistaken. But according to wikipedia, casino hold'em "is played in over one hundred live casinos and over one thousand online Casinos worldwide"


from wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casino_hold_%27em


Rules


  • The game is played with a standard 52 card deck.
  • Each player makes an Ante bet and may make an optional AA bonus side bet.
  • The player and dealer are both dealt two cards (face down).
  • Three cards are then dealt to the board and will eventually contain five cards.
  • After checking his/her cards, the player has to decide (a) to fold with no further play losing the Ante bet or (b) to make a Call bet of double the Ante bet.
  • If one or more players makes a Call bet the dealer will deal two more cards to the board, for a total of five.
  • Players and dealer make their best five card poker hand from their own two personal cards and five board cards.
  • Each player’s hand are compared with the dealer’s.
  • The dealer must have a pair of 4s or better to qualify.
  • If the dealer does not qualify, the Ante bet pays according to the AnteWin pay table and the Call bet is a push (stand off).
  • If the dealer qualifies, and the player's hand is better than the dealer's, the Ante bet pays according to the Ante-Win pay table and the Call bet pays 1 to 1.
  • If the dealer qualifies, and the dealer's hand is equal to the player's, all bets are push (it doesn't win or lose).
  • If the dealer qualifies, and the dealer's hand is better than the player's, the player loses all bets.

There is a version of Hold'em in the CardsChat Casino ("Casino" tab in white bar above). However, it's not played against a House hand, so the betting is different.

Do you have any idea why my link wouldn't work? (derail/info post)

No. I copied the address bar from my browser (which pointed to the wiki page), then simply pasted it in my post. I have been having linking issues since Saturday (approx). Originally links would open in a new window. They are not doing that from a CC tab, for me, today.

Me too - like a hundred other times. I thought the live link "edit" button (!) might have had some effect, but I deleted it to no change, odd.

Apologies for derail, thanks dj.

Interesting... I'm going to do some research I suppose.
