Caribbean Poker Codes and Pointers


[ English ]

Internet poker has become globally famous as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several variants on the first poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the house rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the dealer saying "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the other gamblers receive five cards. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s initial card, you need to either make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning wager, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your wager goes directly to the bank. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus a figure equal to the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The casino pays chips even with your initial bet and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • 3-1 for 3 of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
