Caribbean Poker Regulations and Pointers

[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

Internet poker has become world famous recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years many variants on the first poker game have been developed, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling blackjack than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer broadcasting "No further bets." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different players acquire five cards each. After you have seen your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you have to either make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original bet, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your bet goes directly to the dealer. After the wager is the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, plus a figure on par with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The dealer pays out money equal to your bet and fixed expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • three to one for 3 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 four of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
