Caribbean Poker Protocols and Tricks
Web poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the bank instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the dealer saying "No further bets." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s first card, you have to either make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s amount is akin to your original wager, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet comes the showdown. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including an amount in accordance with the initial bet. If the bank does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one 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
- 100-1 for a royal flush
