Caribbean Poker Codes and Tricks
Online poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the casino instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or other kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer broadcasting "No further bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the different players receive 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s value is on same level to your original bet, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your ante goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the bet comes the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, with a sum on par with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The casino pony’s up money even with your original bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for three 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
