Caribbean Poker Regulations and Hints


Online poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years many variations on the first poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with 21 than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the casino instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier broadcasting "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must either make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes immediately to the house. After the bet comes the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, plus an amount equal to the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The house pony’s up chips even with your original bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • 3-1 for 3 of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
