Caribbean Poker Rules and Tricks

Web poker has become world famous as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in fact a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years many types on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to blackjack than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the dealer instead of each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or different types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the dealer broadcasting "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers receive five cards. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s value is on same level to your original wager, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your wager goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, with an amount on par with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The house pony’s up cash even with your wager and set odds on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 pairs
  • three to one for 3 of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • twenty to one for a four of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
