Caribbean Poker Protocols and Pointers
Poker has become globally acclaimed lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different gamblers are given 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you have to either make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes directly to the casino. After the bet comes the face off. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, with a sum equal to the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The house pays money equal to your original bet and controlled odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 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
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
