Poker has become world famous recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the first poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the dealer rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer saying "No further bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers receive 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must either make a call wager or accede. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original bet, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your ante goes directly to the casino. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, including a sum in accordance with the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The dealer pays money even with your wager and controlled odds on your call bet. These odds are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• 2-1 for 2 pairs
• three to one for 3 of a kind
• 4-1 for a straight
• 5-1 for a flush
• seven to one for a full house
• 20-1 for a four of a kind
• fifty to one for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush

Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve final poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
