Caribbean Poker Regulations and Hints

Online poker has become world famous recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years many variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the casino instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer broadcasting "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other players receive five cards. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or accede. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your beginning wager, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your bet goes immediately to the bank. After the wager comes the showdown. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, with a sum in accordance with the initial wager. 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 pays out money equal to your wager and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • 3-1 for three of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • 20-1 for a four of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
