Caribbean Poker Regulations and Tricks
Web poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years many variants on the first poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier announcing "No further bets." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you must in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original bet, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantly to the bank. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, with a figure equal to the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The casino pays money equal to your ante and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
