Caribbean Poker Protocols and Hints

Poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variants on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the dealer declares "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the different players receive 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s value is akin to your original bet, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager is the face off. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, with a sum on par with the ante. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The dealer pays money even with your initial bet and set expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • two to one for two pairs
  • three to one for 3 of a kind
  • 4-1 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
