Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers

Poker has become world famous lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years many types on the first poker game have been created, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the dealer rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier declares "No further bets." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers are given five cards. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you must either make a call wager or accede. The call bet’s amount is akin to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your bet goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager comes the showdown. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, plus an amount on par with the original wager. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The bank pays out money equal to your ante and fixed expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • three to one for three 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 4 of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
