What to Avoid When Playing Caribbean Stud
Some gaming experts say that no matter what strategy you use, you cannot beat Caribbean Stud poker over the long term. However, if you do decide to play, there are certain guidelines to keep in mind when avoiding the worst bets in Caribbean Stud.
When playing the ante bet, place a bet equal to the table minimum. In case your hand holds anything lower than no pairs with an Ace and King high, it would be advisable to fold. However, call if your hand is of rank and is one pair or better and if you do have no pairs and only and Ace and a King high, fold unless you have one of the same cards as the dealer's card that is face up. Then, you would call instead of fold.
The house advantage on the progressive jackpot varies, but can sometimes be close to 29%, which is considered to be pretty high. When the progressive jackpot gets to be as much as $263,228 or more, often times the table limits are increased. You can only bet $1 on the progressive jackpot when you also participate on the ante bet. If the table limits increase, you are still required to bet twice the amount of the ante in order to fully play.
Don’t place the dollar side bet for the progressive jackpot. It is told to be one of the worst bets in a casino that a player can make.
Within five years of its introduction Caribbean Stud Poker is offered in almost all land-based casinos and at in increasing amount of online casinos.
