the game is caribbean stud poker where 4 cards of the bank are opened
say you put 100 ante up,now you half to pay 50 EXTRA to the casino.
Payout schedule is normal.
Basic Strategy is to always play if you can beat what you see of course.
Now two extra's: 1.you can change one card for one ante and two cards for two antes Payout is normal as before.
2.you can buy a card for the bank for one ante,like when you have a straight or higher and bank does not qualify(AK min)
yet.In this second option,you not only pay an ante but also will not get paid an ante if bank does not qualify after change.
Advantage?Strategy?
I think John May's book says you have 35% advantage when you know 4 cards of the dealer.You will play 80-90 % of the hands from what I have seen so far.Part of the strategy can be calculated straightforward,like when the bank has a pair,you always buy a card for straight or flush,other things I do not know.Small limit game,Profitable BJ game on next table with .5% advantage BS(jokers,ES),so this could be profitable game as well.
