Caribbean Poker Protocols and Tricks

Poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the first poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with vingt-et-un than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the dealer instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No further bets." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different players are given five cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s amount is equal to your original wager, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantaneously to the casino. After the wager is the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, plus a sum on par with the initial wager. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pays out chips even with your bet and set expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 pairs
  • three to one for three of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • 20-1 for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
