Caribbean Poker Codes and Hints
Web poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house rather than each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or different types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other players attain 5 cards. After you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s value is akin to your beginning wager, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your ante goes instantaneously to the casino. After the bet comes the face off. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, with a sum equal to the original wager. If the house does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The house pony’s up chips equal to your ante and fixed expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
