Caribbean Poker Rules and Tips

Internet poker has become globally acclaimed lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years numerous types on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or different kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier declares "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different players acquire 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s initial card, you must in turn make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original ante, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes immediately to the house. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, including a sum equal to the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips even with your wager and fixed expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs

  • four to one for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
