Caribbean Poker Rules and Hints
Thursday, 4. February 2021
Internet poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to blackjack than old guard poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the dealer declares "No further bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers are given 5 cards. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you have to either make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s value is akin to your original bet, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your bet goes instantly to the dealer. After the wager comes the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including an amount in accordance with the original bet. If the house does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The casino pays out chips even with your wager and fixed odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 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 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
