Getting ahead in Caribbean stud is
not
easy. Even though any
individual hand or sequence of hands can result in a nice payout, over
the long haul, the casino has the edge, as they do in all online casino
games besides poker and backgammon where you play against other people
and not the house. Here are a few advanced tips you can keep in mind to
keep the house edge down.
Avoid the
Progressive Wager
One of the things
about Caribbean stud that
appeals to many
players is
the progressive wager. This wager only costs $1 and can provide big
payoffs, including $100 for a full house, $500 for four of a kind and a
huge jackpot for being dealt a royal flush. The problem is that these
bets provide a very large house edge. Even though it is “only a dollar”
to play, you should avoid these bets and the 25 percent or more house
edge that comes with them if you are playing to win.
Rare Exceptions
The only exception
is if the progressive jackpot
for a straight flush
or royal flush has become so high from Caribbean stud players paying
into it without it being hit that the size of it seriously exceeds the
odds of winning it. However, for this to be the case, the progressive
jackpot will usually have to be in the hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
Play
Correct
Strategy
Correct strategy
can keep the house
edge down to around five
and a
quarter percent. The main idea of Caribbean stud strategy is to raise
with any pair and fold with anything less than ace king high. The main
strategic question comes with which ace king hands you should play. You
can acquire strategy articles at CasinoToplists.com and
learn how to
handle these situations or simply pick a cut off hand, such as ace king
jack x x, as the minimum raising hand.
