Caribbean Poker Codes and Tricks

Poker has become world acclaimed as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no conniving or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers acquire five cards each. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you must either make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original wager, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your wager goes instantly to the casino. After the bet is the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with a figure on par with the original bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The dealer pony’s up money even with your ante and set expectations on your call wager. These expectations 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
  • five to one for a flush
  • 7-1 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
