Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers

Internet poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several types on the original poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the casino rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or different kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the croupier saying "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different players acquire 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you have to in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes directly to the house. After the bet comes the showdown. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, with a sum equal to the initial wager. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The casino pays cash equal to your bet and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 pairs
  • three to one for three of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • 20-1 for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
