Texas Roulette

Here is an interesting game I found on the wsop play money site.  Texas Roulette.  Rules are these.  Buy in is 25000 only.  Blinds are 12500/25000.  Cards are dealt and you have two choices, call or fold.  Flop is dealt, now you must go all in or fold.  Your chips are auto filled back to starting stack if you are below 25k.  Simple.  After getting the hang of it did very well.  Key is like real poker played well.

1.  Be picky about your starting hands in early position, you will have to act first before seeing what everyone else does.
2.  Your range should broaden in late position because you will have more information.
3.  You can't really bluff against a crowd, someone has a hand or a draw.
4.  Kickers matter, suited matters and high cards matter, preferably have all 3.
5. Size matters.  A big stack sometimes scares them off.
6.  Because you cannot raise preflop in this game, you will often be trapping with your big hands.  Don't go crazy, a pair is only a pair, even if aces. Evaluate the texture of the board.
7.  Any two cards can and often do win.  Loose play in late position can be a big winner.
8.  Small pairs are great...if you hit.  Remember the flop it or drop it rule.

That's about it, ran my bankroll up over 10% in a couple of sessions.  Fun game.
