Caribbean Poker Protocols and Pointers
by Alejandro on August 27th, 2010
Web poker has become globally acclaimed lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variants on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling blackjack than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the casino rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that point, both you and the house and of course all of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you must either make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s amount is akin to your beginning wager, which means that the risks will have doubled. Bowing out means that your ante goes directly to the casino. After the wager is the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, with an amount on par with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The house pays cash equal to your initial bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
