Caribbean Poker Protocols and Tricks
Web poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the dealer rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier declares "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers receive 5 cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to either make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original wager, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your ante goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager comes the face off. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, with a figure equal to the initial bet. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The casino pays cash even with your ante and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
