Caribbean Poker Codes and Tips
Web poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or other types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier broadcasting "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers receive 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning wager, which means that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes immediately to the bank. After the bet comes the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, plus a figure on par with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The casino pays money equal to your ante and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
