Caribbean Poker Regulations and Pointers

Poker has become globally famous lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years many variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no bluffing or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the dealer broadcasting "No more bets." At that point, both you and the house and of course all of the other players acquire five cards each. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you must either make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s amount is akin to your beginning ante, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes directly to the casino. After the bet comes the face off. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including an amount on par with the initial wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pays out money equal to your initial bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for two pairs
  • three to one for 3 of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • 7-1 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
