No replies in prob forum, so I figured I'd try here:
Many Real Time Gaming Casinos offer a table game called Caribbean Holdem Poker, more commonly known as Casino Holdem.
The WOO explains the game here (http://wizardofodds.com/casinoholdem), but unfortunately he gives no strategy:

Unfortunately there is no easy way to quantify optimal strategy for this game. I can say the optimal strategy player will raise 82% of the time. So only in the worst 18% of hands should the player fold. In general these are when the player has two singletons in the hole that are low compared to the flop, with little or no chance for a straight or flush.

I've also found this strategy page (http://www.thegoodgamblingguide.co.uk/thisweek/2002/holdempoker.htm#houseedge). It offers a simple strategy table which presumably approximates optimal strategy.
But I have my doubts about how good the approximation is. In particular, this strategy seems poor when the board is paired with fours or greater (so that the dealer automatically qualifies), and you hold an 8 and a card smaller than 8, with no draws. This table suggests calling.
Does anyone know of a better strategy table?
Does anyone how bad this one really is?
Thanks,
gm
