Caribbean Poker Protocols and Pointers


Web poker has become world famous lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the dealer announcing "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course all of the different gamblers receive 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the bank’s first card, you have to either make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning bet, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your wager goes instantly to the bank. After the bet is the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, with a sum on par with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The house pays chips even with your initial bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • three to one for three of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • twenty to one for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
