Caribbean Stud Poker Tips

Once you have read the rules of Caribbean Poker and you know how to play the game I would advise going through the tips below. The tips I have organized for you today will help you with the basics of the game and are ideally for new players who have just finished reading the rules of the game. If you already know how to play the game then you probably won’t the tips very useful.

* Make sure you read what the minimum bet is before you sit down at the table. Often in casinos you will find that the minimum is $15 ante which means a hand is $45. If you don’t have the bankroll for this type of action then you will need to play in an online casino where you can play for a lot less.

* Since your goal in Caribbean Poker is to beat the dealer’s hand you should make sure you learn what the value of poker hand is. Although it isn’t really that important due to the fact you should call with any pair or better, it’s still worth learning them now. Your second bet is also paid based on your hand value so you can find out how much you’ll win before the dealer looks at your hand if you know the values.

* You’re not supposed to see the other players hand when you’re playing this game, but often it won’t matter. Most dealer’s won’t say anything if you’re glancing at the other player’s hands and it helps you lower the house edge so make sure you do it when you can. The worst thing that can happen is that they will tell you not to do it again.

* Always bet on the progressive jackpot when there is one at the Caribbean Poker game you’re playing. Nothing would be worse then winning the progressive jackpot, but not qualifying for the money because you didn’t put in the $1 bet that hand. It’s very rare to hit the jackpot, but it’s worth a $1 a hand because you never know when your lucky day could roll around.

* When you have A/K at the FullTiltPoker.com table, it’s often profitable to make the call because the dealer doesn’t have the best odds for qualifying. If the dealer doesn’t qualify then you win the hand no matter what you have. It will be more risky to call without anything, but you can often win $15 due to the dealer not qualify and you getting paid 1:1 on your ante bet.

* The dealer’s up card can be used to help determine the likelihood of whether or not they have a pair. If you or another player has the same card as the dealer’s up card then that lowers the chances of that card being paired up in the dealer’s hand. This is a good hand to bet even if you don’t have anything because the dealer will only have four cards to make a pair and not five.
