Red Dog Optimal Strategy
by Jean Real

Online casino games are not all that hard to beat. The player will always have a very slight disadvantage but this can be reduced to a minimum if you know how to play the game perfectly. As a player, the first thing you must do is find out how to play a chance game such as Red Dog, with a perfect strategy. Once you apply the strategy to the game, your chances of making a profit will be increase. Since the game is ultimately random an optimal strategy cannot guarantee winnings to every player that applies it. It’s a combination of your skill and luck that will determine the outcome of the game.

Red Dog Poker sometimes known as Acey-Deucey, is quite a simple game to play. The game starts by dealing two cards in front of you from a 52-card deck.  The cards’ values are the same as in poker (2 being the lowest, Ace being the highest).  If the two cards dealt have the same rank (say, two Kings), the game will automatically deal another card in order to see if a three-of-a-kind is completed. Completing a three-of-a-kind will pay the player 11:1. If it is not, then the game is over and the bet results in a push. If the two cards dealt are consecutive (say, an 8 and a 9), the game is over and results again in a push.

So, when the cards are neither the same nor in consecutive order, the player gets a chance to raise the bet. By raising the bet the player is willing to gamble that the next card to appear will have a value between the two initially dealt cards. The bigger the gap between the first two cards, the better chance the player has of winning the bet. The raise is not necessary; the player may gamble only with his or her initial bet by pressing the “call” button.

The Spread. In Red Dog Poker, the spread represent the number of card ranks that can fall between the two initially dealt cards. The wider the gap, or in other words, the higher the spread, the lower the payout; and vice versa, the lower the spread the higher the payout. Payouts are made according to this paytable:

Hand Payout
 
Spread of 1 (5:1)
Spread of 2 (4:1)
Spread of 3 (2:1)
Spread of 4-11 (1:1)
Pair (Push)
Consecutive Cards (Push)
Three of a Kind (11:1)

The optimal Red Dog Strategy is quite simple. The player should only raise the bet if the spread is of 7 or higher. This will result in more wins than lost hand when you raise the bet. If you raise on spreads of 6 or less, the house holds a higher edge and these bets will result mostly in lost hands.

The ultimate Caribbean Stud Poker Strategy
by Jean Real

You’ve probably seen those big poker tournaments on TV, such as the World Series of Poker, and you’re really wondering how hard it can be to compete at poker with other players. We have to tell you, Poker is an art to be learned and before you head out to a big poker tournament you should have a good strategy base. The best way to get acquainted with the game is by playing Video Poker which is similar to poker but you don’t have to “compete” with other players. Another game which can help you practice is Caribbean Stud Poker. This is the game we want to focus on today.

Caribbean Stud Poker is an incredibly easy game to play and win at. As you may know, for any Stud Poker game you do not need to draw for new cards. You play according to the initial deal of cards. This is similar to Texas Hold’em in which you simply play and bet according to the cards dealt without being able to exchange or discard any card. The game begins by placing an Ante bet before any cards are dealt. The dealer deals 5 cards for himself and 5 cards for the player. The dealer’s cards are all face-down except one.

Here’s where you practice you poker skills. Your 5 cards need to be better than the dealer’s in order to win the game. For the game to continue you must place a second bet twice the amount of the ANTE Bet. If you feel your cards are not good enough, then fold you hand and play a new one. The Ante Bet is lost in this case.

Now if you have a good hand then place the second bet and you’ll go against the dealer’s hand. If you have a better hand than the dealer’s the Ante Bet pays 1:1 and the second Bet according to the Caribbean Stud Poker Pay Table if the dealer has at least an Ace and King:

Poker hand/Payout
Royal Flush/ 800:1
Straight Flush/ 200:1
Four of a Kind/ 25:1
Full House/10:1
Flush/7:1
Straight/5:1
Three of a Kind/3:1
Two Pair/2:1
Pair/1:1
High Card /1:1

When should you raise the bet? Very simple, we have a solid Caribbean Stud Poker strategy for you:

If you have at least a Pair in your hand, raise the bet.
If you have less than the dealer’s qualifying hand (Ace/King) fold the bet.
If you have Ace and King, raise the bet only if you have a Jack or Queen as your third highest card

This Caribbean Stud Strategy will make you fold many hands but that’s better than losing both the Ante and Second bet when having a bad hand. It is a proven technique to help you get the best results with the minimum risk for the player.
