Caribbean Poker Codes and Hints
Online poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling twenty-one than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the house rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier declares "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course all of the different gamblers receive 5 cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning ante, indicating that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your ante goes immediately to the house. After the bet comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, with 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 bank’s hand. The bank pays cash equal to your ante and set odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
