represents any unpaired, non-sequential,

From
this table you can see that a
pair of 8's or higher has a statistical
expectation for winning regardless
of the dealer's exposed card.
With 5's, 6's or 7's, however,
the strength of the hand is directly
related to that card. Since the
dealer has a greater chance for
exposing one of his paired cards
(40% of the hand makes up the
pair) players have a greater chance
of winning when the dealer exposes
a card of equal or lesser value
then their pair. However, despite
the dealer's card, you must still
make the call bet on any pair.
Hands like A-K-Q-X-X, A-K-J-X-X,
and A-K-10-X-X, are the weakest
playable hands, with a very low
win expectation. For these hands,
the call bet is made only when
the dealer's exposed card matches
any card in your hand. Any other
hand that you are dealt is considered
garbage and should be folded.
You're now set with the optimal
strategy for making the call bets
Caribbean Stud poker. As you can
see there aren't as many rules
as there are with games like blackjack,
but there are important rules
nonetheless. Knowing them will
help reduce the edge down to it's
lowest attainable value and help
you to start walking away with
a profit, instead of just taking
longer to lose.
