Online poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer declares "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the house and of course all of the different players are given 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you need to in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s value is akin to your beginning bet, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes instantly to the bank. After the bet is the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, including a figure on par with the initial bet. If the bank does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The casino pony’s up cash even with your ante and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 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
