Caribbean Poker Rules and Tricks


Internet poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer rather than each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the dealer saying "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers are given 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s initial card, you must in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your bet goes immediately to the house. After the wager is the conclusion. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, including a figure on par with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The bank pays out cash equal to your ante and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for two pairs
  • 3-1 for three of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • twenty to one for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
