Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers
Internet poker has become world acclaimed recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its television scores. Over the years several variants on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the dealer rather than each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the dealer broadcasting "No further bets." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course every one of the other players are given five cards each. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you must either make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s value is equal to your original wager, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes immediately to the casino. After the wager comes the showdown. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including an amount on par with the initial wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The house pays out chips even with your initial bet and fixed odds on your call wager. 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
- 7-1 for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
