Caribbean Poker Protocols and Pointers
by Kole on December 5th, 2009
Online poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the dealer broadcasting "No further bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the other players receive five cards. Once you have observed your hand and the casino’s first card, you have to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes immediately to the house. After the wager comes the showdown. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, plus a figure equal to the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pays money even with your wager and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one 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 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
