by Colby on Thursday, January 23rd, 2020
Poker has become world 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 many variants on the first poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the dealer declares "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course all of the different gamblers receive 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you must either make a call wager or accede. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original bet, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your wager goes instantly to the house. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with a figure equal to the initial wager. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The bank pays cash even with your initial bet and set expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal 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
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
