Caribbean Poker Protocols and Pointers

Poker has become globally famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years many variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the dealer rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no conniving or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the different gamblers acquire 5 cards. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s amount is akin to your original bet, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your bet goes instantaneously to the casino. After the wager comes the face off. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, with a sum in accordance with the initial wager. If the casino does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The bank pays money equal to your ante and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • three to one for three of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
