Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers

[ English ]

Web poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years many variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different gamblers acquire five cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call wager’s value is equal to your original wager, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes immediately to the casino. After the bet comes the showdown. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, including a sum on par with the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pony’s up cash equal to your ante and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 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 four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
