As
we
noted
on
our
Caribbean
Poker
rules
page,
this
is
not
a
great
returning
game,
with
a
house
edge
of
just
over
5%
even
if
played
optimally.
So
if
you
are
looking
to
win
big
online,
or
at
your
local
casino,
this
perhaps
isn't
your
best
game
choice.
But
still,
it
is
lots
of
fun,
and
to
play
it
optimally
is
really
easy.
Optimal
strategy
for
Caribbean
Stud
is
pretty
simple,
and
its
this:
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.
Good
luck!
