Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers

[ English ]

Web poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the dealer broadcasting "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course all of the different gamblers attain 5 cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you need to in turn make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s amount is equal to your original wager, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your ante goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager comes the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus a figure on par with the ante. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The house pony’s up chips even with your bet and set odds on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • 3-1 for three of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • seven to one 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
