Texas holdem on blackjack tables in A.C.

They have a new table game there [or atleast it's new to me]Players cards against the dealers cards
The dealers deals out two down cards to everyone.Say you place a $25 bet before you receive your cards.After the flop you have the choice of folding your hand and losing the $25 or putting up another [twice your bet]$50 after the flop.After the 4th street card is dealt out,you can check or add another $25 to your bet.No betting after the river.
You can also play a side bonus bet.I don't remember exactly what all the odds are ,but as an example:IF you get dealt AA=25 to 1..AK SUITED=25TO 1.. - KK=20 to 1 all the way down to a pair of 2's=3 to 1.
I was playing this in resorts,pitboss told me they just started this game two weeks ago.
Anybody else every play or seen this game?
Any thoughts on the best way to play this game?

The wizard of odds site has a page about the game...doesn't say too much but it's a start at least...

playing holdem against the house instead of other players seems like a no win

That's why the casinos are taking away some BJ tables and replacing them with with this holdem game and 3 card poker tables.
I only played about 20 mins won a few bucks mainly by getting AA with a $10 side bet and got up.
Figured i try to get some more info about this game for the next time I go.
tks
