Internet poker has become world famous recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with 21 than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the house rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the dealer broadcasting "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course all of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you must in turn make a call bet or accede. The call wager’s value is akin to your original ante, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your ante goes directly to the house. After the bet is the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, with a figure in accordance with the original wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The house pays out cash even with your wager and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
