Web poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years numerous variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the casino instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or different kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other gamblers are given five cards each. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet comes 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 does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The dealer pony’s up cash equal to your ante and set 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
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
