Caribbean Poker Protocols and Tricks
Poker has become world famous as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the dealer broadcasting "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the different players are given 5 cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s value is on same level to your original wager, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes directly to the casino. After the wager comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, plus a figure on par with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The dealer pays chips even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 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
