Caribbean Stud Strategies by Mark Kesting No matter what casino you’re playing at, the house has an edge that assures the profit of the casino regardless of how many people win a day. By basing your gaming on a strategy, you increase your odds and turn them to your favour. And every time your opponents don’t have a strategy, the games will have insignificant winning odds for them. The first thing that needs to be said about Caribbean stud strategies refers to the strongest attraction of this game: the progressive jackpot and the big winnings that come when hitting it. Placing this bet is optional and it consists in placing an additional bet apart from the regular bet. Statistics show that hitting the progressive jackpot happens pretty rarely and cause gamblers great losses. It is also true that if you have the luck to hit the jackpot, the amount of money you will win is incredibly high. So, our advice is: don’t go for it unless you can afford losing the money you bet. As for regular gaming, the biggest mistake players make is the fact that they get scared of the dealer's showing card. As a result, when the dealer shows a high card, many of us prefer to fold. We don't even think that the other four cards he will flip over may be bad. So, could we make such an assumption about something we know so little about and it's not up to the dealer? Bluffing is impossible in Caribbean stud. And strategy you want to apply to this game involve evaluating the hands. There isn't a specific rule that everybody should follow. But the general idea, the one that applies in all cases is that when your hand consists of at least one pair, raising is the best option. On the other hand, when your hand is lower than the dealer's winning hand, it's best to fold. The A K hands are a delicate issue. If the other three cards are high or if the dealer's showing card is not a very high one and is equivalent to one of yours, the situation will turn to your favour because it is pretty unlikely that he will have a pair under the given circumstances. What you should consider the basis of a good strategy is that you should raise if you have at least a pair or an A-K. Do it if the dealer's card is a low one and you're holding a card of the same value, if his card is an A-K and again, you're holding a similar card or if the dealer's card is lower than the value of your fourth highest one and the dealer's rank doesn't match yours. Otherwise, if you have less than an A-K, for instance, fold. Aside from these important issues, money management is also very important in order to win. This is what makes different strategies exist and as long as you play correctly, they can all work. But if you don't have a strategy at all, you will be one of the many easy targets casinos have. | |||||
