Online poker has become world famous recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the croupier saying "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the different players receive five cards. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you need to either make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning bet, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantly to the dealer. After the bet comes the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with an amount in accordance with the initial wager. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The dealer pony’s up cash even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 pairs
  • three to one for 3 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 four of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
