Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers
Poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years many variants on the first poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to vingt-et-un than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the dealer instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or other types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course all of the other gamblers attain five cards each. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you must either make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s value is akin to your original bet, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your wager goes directly to the dealer. After the bet comes the showdown. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, plus an amount equal to the ante. If the casino does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The bank pays out cash equal to your original bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 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 four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
