Caribbean Poker Codes and Tips
Online poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer declares "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers attain 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the dealer’s first card, you have to in turn make a call bet or give up. The call wager’s value is akin to your original wager, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes immediately to the dealer. After the bet comes the showdown. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, including an amount in accordance with the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The casino pony’s up cash equal to your bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
