Caribbean Poker Codes and Hints
Internet poker has become world famous recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television scores. Over the years several variants on the first poker game have been developed, including some 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 more closely related to twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the dealer instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the house and of course every one of the other players acquire 5 cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original wager, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your wager goes immediately to the dealer. After the bet comes the face off. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, including an amount equal to the initial wager. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The dealer pays out money equal to your wager and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 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
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
