Caribbean Poker Codes and Tricks

Poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variants on the first poker game have been created, including a few 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 related to 21 than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up prior to the dealer broadcasting "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course all of the different players are given five cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s value is equal to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your wager goes directly to the bank. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus a figure on par with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The dealer pays chips even with your original bet and set odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 pairs
  • three to one for 3 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 4 of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
