Caribbean Poker Protocols and Pointers
Poker has become world famous as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back in fact a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years many variants on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the bank instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no bluffing or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier saying "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different gamblers receive 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you need to either make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s amount is akin to your beginning wager, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your wager goes instantaneously to the casino. After the bet comes the showdown. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including a figure in accordance with the original wager. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The casino pays out chips equal to your ante and controlled odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 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
