If it never gets raised, there is the standard double bet on the turn and river. In the stud games, there is a double bet on the last card only.

Like most home games, this is just the way it sort of evolved.

The game has a lot of agressive players, so you don't have to worry about building a pot too often.

For me, the toughest game is Omaha under this method. This is because wth so many pseudo-maniacs in the game, it often gets raised 3 or 4 times before the flop! It not being my best game, I have trouble finding many hands I'm willing to play for that kind of money before the flop. Of course even if you catch a piece of the flop, now your looking at some big bets coming your way if you want to try and draw out. My basic strategy up to this point has been simply to not get involved unless I have good position and only draw to the nuts. The tough part is, that there are always a few players in the pot, so you really have to play drawing hands to have a chance. top 2 pair or trips get beat all the time in this game.
