Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers
Internet poker has become globally celebrated as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years several types on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no bluffing or other types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier declares "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different gamblers are given 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s value is akin to your original bet, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your wager goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the face off. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, including a sum on par with the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The bank pays chips equal to your bet and fixed expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs

- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
