Caribbean Poker Rules and Tips

Web poker has become world famous recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the dealer instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers acquire 5 cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s first card, you must in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original bet, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the bet comes the showdown. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, including a figure in accordance with the original wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The bank pays money even with your ante and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • 3-1 for 3 of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • five to one 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
