Caribbean Poker Codes and Pointers
Web poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the first poker game have been developed, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the casino rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no bluffing or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the dealer saying "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different players acquire 5 cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s value is equal to your original bet, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your bet goes immediately to the casino. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including an amount in accordance with the initial bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The dealer pony’s up chips even with your original bet and fixed expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
