Caribbean Poker Regulations and Tricks
Web poker has become world acclaimed recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the dealer declares "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers are given five cards. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s first card, you have to either make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original bet, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your ante goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager is the showdown. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, plus a sum in accordance with the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The house pony’s up chips equal to your bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 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
