Caribbean Poker Codes and Pointers

Poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been created, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the dealer announcing "No further bets." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers attain five cards. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call wager’s value is on same level to your beginning bet, indicating that the risks will have doubled. Bowing out means that your wager goes directly to the house. After the bet comes the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, with a sum equal to the ante. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The bank pays out cash even with your bet and controlled odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

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