Caribbean Poker Codes and Pointers

Web poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several types on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or different kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier declares "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other players receive 5 cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you must either make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s amount is equal to your original ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes directly to the bank. After the bet is the showdown. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, with a figure on par with the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pays out cash even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 pairs
  • three to one for 3 of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
