Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers

[ English ]

Internet poker has become world acclaimed recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several types on the original poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the casino instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different gamblers receive five cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s value is equal to your original wager, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your wager goes immediately to the bank. After the bet is the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus a figure equal to the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips equal to your ante and set expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • three to one 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
