I came up with a solitaire game years ago I call Break "The Bank!!"
Start with (10) $1 chips... play one hand to start and move up to two when you are ready against a ghost hand! Max is 3 Holden hands per player
You can double or increase to the next level when ever you are ready... but you can't go back!!
This has to be played limit! I allow doubling pre flop so... at $1 blinds you can double to $2 on premium hands. Post flop may bet is same as preflop bet, the turn can double (max $4 at this level if you doubled pre flop) the river can double again (max would be $8)
You do not have to bet post flop or and other position but if you skip... then next bet is the first level of betting
So say you hit a pair on the flop, don't bet... but hit trips on the turn... your bet can only be your preflop bet, and then doubled on the river.
All ties go to the dealer. (Keeps it fair since he is blindly calling your bets!)
No time limit, but idling is frowned upon! Add up the total value of chips in your set or the "bank"
Try it out!! See if you can "Break The Bank" a lot of strategy can go into this game on aggression, move up too quick... 3 or 4 bad hands could bust you!!
Can also be played as a race with other players like first to $1000... kind of like a tournament but in a casino style playing against a ghost dealer!
Say $10 buyin and race to $1,000... if a player busts out they are not dead. Either they can start over for free or if you like make them rebuy, say $2 per rebuy to the pot... full priced rebuys discourage action since you are typically ahead of that player at this point! Now they may have to become extremely aggressive to catch back up!!
May sound dumb. But it's a lot of fun, and excellent way to teach the game of hold'em... of course could be played Omaha or Stud also...
This is how
@FordPickup92 learned the game of holdem!! This is a chill laid back version where you are not attacking each other but at the same time you are!!
I recommend at least 50k in the bank for this to play well.
