Caribbean Poker Rules and Tips

Online poker has become world celebrated as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years many variations on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling 21 than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the croupier saying "No more bets." At that point, both you and the house and of course all of the different players acquire 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you have to either make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your beginning wager, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantaneously to the bank. After the bet comes the showdown. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, with an amount equal to the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The bank pays chips even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • 3-1 for 3 of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • 5-1 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
