Caribbean Poker Codes and Pointers
Poker has become globally acclaimed lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the dealer saying "No further bets." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course all of the other players receive five cards. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you need to either make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s amount is akin to your original wager, which means that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes immediately to the casino. After the wager is the showdown. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, plus a sum in accordance with the initial wager. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The dealer pony’s up money even with your bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
