Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers

Online poker has become globally famous recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years numerous variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling blackjack than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the dealer rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or different kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the dealer saying "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different players are given five cards. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original bet, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your bet goes immediately to the casino. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including an amount on par with the original bet. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The house pony’s up money equal to your bet and fixed odds on your call wager. These expectations are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for two pairs
  • 3-1 for 3 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 four of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
