Caribbean Poker Rules and Tips

Internet poker has become world famous recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years several variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the house rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course all of the other players receive five cards each. After you have seen your hand and the bank’s first card, you have to either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning ante, indicating that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your ante goes instantly to the dealer. After the bet is the showdown. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, plus an amount on par with the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The house pays out chips even with your wager and controlled odds on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • two to one for two pairs
  • three to one for three of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • 7-1 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
