Caribbean Poker Rules and Tips

Web poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variants on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the house instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the dealer announcing "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different players attain 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s value is akin to your original wager, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes immediately to the casino. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, with an amount on par with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The casino pays out money even with your ante and controlled odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 pairs
  • 3-1 for 3 of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • twenty to one for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
