Caribbean Poker Codes and Tricks
Poker has become world famous as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its television scores. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with blackjack than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the dealer rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or different kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the house and of course every one of the other players are given five cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you have to either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s value is equal to your original wager, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantaneously to the house. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including a figure on par with the original bet. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up cash equal to your bet and controlled odds 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
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
