Casino Stud Poker Strategy
Even if you were to play optimum strategy Caribbean Stud poker, you would only reduce the casino's edge to just over 5.2%. This doesn't make Caribbean Stud poker one of your better longer term bets. And its is not surprising to find that Caribbean Stud poker, while popular on cruises, is not a favourite amongst professional gamblers.
If you are hell bent on having a wager on Caribbean Stud, then you'll be happy to know that the basic strategy for this game is pretty simple, and its this:
- Raise on A-K-J-8-3 or better
- Fold otherwise.
A-K-J-8-3 is called the "beacon hand" and it's the lowest break-even hand in the game. While this won't make you a long-term winner, it will help slow your losses. It's the paying hands, a pair or better, that will net you the good wins. Trouble is that the dealer must qualify (A-K) in order for you to get the real payoffs and this only 54% of the time. This means that 46% of the time you'll only get paid for your Ante bet at 1-1 no matter how good your cards are.
