Web poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to 21 than old guard poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or other types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer broadcasting "No more bets." At that point, both you and the house and of course every one of the different players receive 5 cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you must in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original bet, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes immediately to the house. After the bet is the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, including an amount in accordance with the ante. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The house pays out chips even with your bet and fixed expectations on your call wager. These odds are:

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