Caribbean Poker Protocols and Tricks

Poker has become world celebrated as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling 21 than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the house instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier broadcasting "No further bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers acquire five cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you have to either make a call bet or give up. The call wager’s value is equal to your original bet, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your ante goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the bet is the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, including a figure on par with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The dealer pays chips equal to your bet and controlled odds on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 pairs
  • 3-1 for 3 of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • 5-1 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
