Caribbean Poker Codes and Pointers
Internet poker has become world famous as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television scores. Over the years several variants on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to vingt-et-un than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer instead of each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other players receive 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning ante, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your ante goes directly to the house. After the bet comes the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, including a figure equal to the original wager. If the casino does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The dealer pays out money even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
