Caribbean Poker Codes and Pointers

[ English ]

Internet poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, arcs back in fact a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to 21 than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the house rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no concealment or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer announcing "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course every one of the other gamblers receive 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you need to either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s amount is akin to your original bet, which means that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes directly to the bank. After the bet comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, with a figure equal to the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The house pays out chips equal to your ante and set odds on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 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
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
