Caribbean Poker Regulations and Hints

Internet poker has become world famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the bank rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or different kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the dealer announcing "No more bets." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different gamblers are given 5 cards. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you have to either make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s value is equal to your original bet, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager comes the showdown. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, with an amount equal to the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The bank pays money even with your wager and fixed odds on your call wager. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • three to one for 3 of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • 20-1 for a four of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
