Texas Hold 'em Solitaire

A la Blackjack:

1. Two cards are dealt to the player and two the dealer. 
2. The Player can fold and lose ONE (the base value of the bet).
3. The House will fold if he does NOT have two suited cards, two adjacent cards, two cards that are one position away, a pair of anything or a jack of higher. The player would then gain ONE.
4. The flop is dealt.
5. The Player can fold and lose TWO.
6. The House will fold if it does not have three to a flush, three to a straight (not like signposted, as in 3, 5, 7),  a pair of 6s or better or a queen or higher high card. The player would then gain TWO.
7. The turn is dealt.
8. The Player can fold and lose THREE.
9. The House will fold if it does not have four to a flush, four to a straight (inside or outside),  a pair of 8s or better or a king or higher high card. The player would then gain THREE.
10. The river is dealt.
11. The Player can fold and lose FOUR.
12. The House will fold if it does not have a pair of 10s or better or an ace or higher high card. The player would then gain FOUR.
13. The cards are turned up. If the player wins, the player gains FIVE. If the the House wins, the Player loses FIVE. If they tie, there is no point change.

Two-person solitaire?

I guess your would have to play a full hand and then work backwards to say if/when the house would have folded and then score from there.

You're absolutely right. Or you could have a non-competitive friend hold the other cards.

There's also a house vs. player casino element that could be at work here.
