Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers


Web poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the first poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to 21 than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the dealer announcing "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course all of the different gamblers are given five cards each. After you have observed your hand and the dealer’s first card, you have to either make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s value is on same level to your original wager, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your ante goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the bet is the face off. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, including a sum in accordance with the initial wager. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The casino pays cash even with your ante and controlled odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • two to one for two pairs
  • 3-1 for three 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
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
