Caribbean Poker Rules and Hints

Poker has become world famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the dealer rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or different types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer declares "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the house and of course all of the different players receive five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you must in turn make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s value is equal to your beginning ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes instantaneously to the bank. After the wager is the conclusion. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including a sum equal to the initial bet. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The house pays cash even with your bet and set odds on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • 3-1 for three of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • 20-1 for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
