Hello,

We have some weird kind of Caribbean Stud poker here. You have to make an ante wager (minimum 5€) plus an optional additional sidebet of 0.50€. You can draw a card for the additional cost of the ante bet.
The payoff is the same as usual:

U.S. Raise Pay Table
Hand Pays
Royal flush 100 to 1
Straight flush 50 to 1
Four of a kind 20 to 1
Full house 7 to 1
Flush 5 to 1
Straight 4 to 1
Three of a kind 3 to 1
Two pair 2 to 1
All other 1 to 1

Jackpot payoff:
Hand On Hand 1. Card drawn
Royal flush 3000 to 1 1500 to 1
Straight flush 1500 to 1 750 to 1
Four of a kind 500 to 1 250 to 1
Full house 150 to 1 75 to 1
Flush 100 to 1 50 to 1

I made also my own calculations and figgured out that (with the jackpot sidebet):
- Always draw to the straight with a OESD
- Always draw to the flush with a Four to a Flush even if you have a pair <10
- Always draw to the straight with a gutshot draw and the lowest card is an 8
- Always draw to FH with TP
- Always draw to FH/4oaK with 3oaK

The players edge should be around ~1% if I'm correct.

I wonder if i missed some kind of draws or if I have some flaws in my calculations?
And I wonder if it's also possible to get a edge as a player without the sidepot jackpot wager?

I hope you can help me.

Thank you very much
Wizard

I have already asked something about this variety of game without success, so that I will try again.
Mr. Wizard, I know a casino where you do not need to make a side bet to change cards. You must, however, raise the ante bet normally and then pay another ante as a fee for a card exchange.
Considering this and the fact that you can share information with the full table, what would this represent?
No bounce, no play.

That sounds exactly like Oasis Poker. See the wizard's link.

I am everyday more convinced that my English is poor.
I know that this game is very similar to oasis poker. What I want to know is the effect on the edge if you can share information with other players...
No bounce, no play.
