Caribbean Poker Rules and Tricks

Internet poker has become world famous recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years many variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the bank instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or other kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the dealer declares "No further bets."

Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you have to either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s amount is equal to your beginning wager, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your wager goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the face off. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, including an amount in accordance with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The dealer pony’s up chips equal to your wager and set odds on your call wager.

  • Equal for a pair or high card
