Caribbean Poker Codes and Hints
Web poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling vingt-et-un than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the dealer rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier saying "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers are given five cards. After you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you need to either make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s value is equal to your beginning bet, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your wager goes directly to the casino. After the bet is the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, plus an amount equal to the ante. If the casino does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The casino pays cash equal to your wager and fixed expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
