Caribbean Poker Protocols and Hints
Web poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its television scores. Over the years many variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with blackjack than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the house instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no conniving or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the dealer broadcasting "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the other players acquire 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you must either make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s amount is equal to your original wager, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes instantly to the casino. After the wager is the showdown. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including an amount in accordance with the original wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The house pony’s up cash equal to your bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
