Caribbean Poker Codes and Tricks

Poker has become globally celebrated as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the house instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier announcing "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different gamblers receive 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s value is on same level to your beginning wager, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes instantly to the house. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, plus a figure on par with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The casino pays chips equal to your ante and set odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • three to one for three of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
