Caribbean Poker Rules and Hints

Online poker has become world famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television scores. Over the years many variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the dealer instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the croupier saying "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other gamblers attain 5 cards. After you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s first card, you must either make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s value is akin to your original wager, indicating that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your wager goes immediately to the bank. After the wager comes the showdown. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, with a sum equal to the initial bet. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The casino pays out chips equal to your original bet and fixed odds on your call wager. 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
  • five to one for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
