Caribbean Poker Regulations and Tips

Poker has become globally famous recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with 21 than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up prior to the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the bank and of course every one of the other players receive 5 cards. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you need to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s value is akin to your beginning ante, indicating that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your bet goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager is the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, with a figure in accordance with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The bank pony’s up cash equal to your wager and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • two to one 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
  • 20-1 for a four of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
