Caribbean Poker Regulations and Tips
Web poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the casino instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier announcing "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers are given 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you need to either make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your wager goes directly to the dealer. After the bet is the face off. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus a figure on par with the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The dealer pays cash equal to your bet and controlled odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
