Caribbean Poker Protocols and Pointers
Saturday, 24. October 2015
Online poker has become world acclaimed as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its television scores. Over the years many types on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the casino rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier declares "No further bets." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the other players receive five cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s first card, you have to either make a call bet or give up. The call wager’s value is akin to your beginning ante, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your ante goes instantly to the bank. After the bet comes the showdown. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus a figure equal to the initial bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up money even with your wager and controlled odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
