July 11th, 2016 by Makenzie Leave a reply »

Online poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling twenty-one than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the casino rather than each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up prior to the dealer broadcasting "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different gamblers receive 5 cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s first card, you have to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s value is akin to your original wager, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your wager goes immediately to the bank. After the bet is the showdown. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, including an amount equal to the ante. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The house pays out chips even with your wager and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • 3-1 for three of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
