By the way, at 40 hands an hour, those dollars add up in a hurry. How many of you reading this would like a $40 an hour job? Assuming you can resist the urge to play the progressive jackpot bet, you're halfway home in your Caribbean Stud strategy. All you need do to play perfectly is, don't play unless your starting hand is A-K-J-8-3 or better. That means you do play if your hand is any pair (or better), you do play if your hand is A-K-J-9-2, and you don't play if your hand is A-K-J-7-6, or A-Q-J-10-9. If you do play, you must post a bet that is twice the size of your original ante, and if you look down at your hand and see something like 5-5-5-3-3, you happily stick that money out there, because you have a full house, and you will be paid a multiple of your bet, maybe. Here's the other problem with Caribbean Stud, and one reason why some players prefer Let It Ride. If the dealer does not "qualify," that is, make a hand that is at least A-K or better, you don't win anything but your ante bet. The nice multiple you were expecting for your full house doesn't get paid if the dealer turns over something like K-Q-6-5-3. You just win your ante bet, and get the other money returned to you. Because you always win the ante if the dealer fails to qualify AND you have stayed in the hand by making the double-ante bet, many poor Caribbean Stud players will make the double ante wager with horrible hands, hoping that they will collect because the dealer fails to qualify. This is a very dangerous way to play Caribbean Stud, because you have to risk double your original bet just to try to win the ante. It's much better just to give up the ante bet when you don't have the minimum I've set out, and wait for another hand. Unlike real poker, where folding often means a wait of several minutes before another hand gets dealt to you, in Caribbean Stud, you'll get another hand almost faster than you can blink. Fold the losers, play the decent hands, and you'll have a decent chance. You will still be an underdog to the house, make no mistake about it, but you won't be a sucker, either. It happened because the pro, just like you and me and everyone else who plays this game, let his emotions come to the forefront of his consciousness. All of us are guilty of this. Some of us lapse into this pattern more than others, and when it happens, logic and reason are left in the background, and decisions are made solely on our on emotions. Quite often these decisions are wrong.  online casino Back to casino news
