This is played the same as Texas Hold 'Em, with two exceptions.
There are no blinds. It is optional that each player ante before any cards are dealt.
Each player sets up four stacks of chips in front of them. The size of the stacks are determined by the dealer before the game is dealt. The recommendation is stacks of $0.50, $1, $1.50, and $2. After the first two cards are dealt, each player can either fold or push their first stack into the pot. After the flop is turned up, each player can either fold or push their second stack in. After the turn is flipped up, each player can fold or push in their third stack. After the river is flipped up, each player can fold or push in their fourth stack. Showdown. Best hand wins.
There is an obvious positional advantage to this game as there is no betting or raising, but rather a "Let It Ride" type of decision to fold or stay in for the price. There are two options to overcome this advantage for the dealer:
1) The first action to stay in or fold rotates so that it isn't always the player to the dealer's left, or
2) The coin declare.
