Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers

Internet poker has become globally celebrated as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the croupier saying "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other players attain five cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you must in turn make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet is the conclusion. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, with an amount on par with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The bank pays cash even with your wager and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for two pairs
  • three to one for 3 of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • 5-1 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
