Online poker has become world famous recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years many types on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the dealer instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different gamblers acquire 5 cards. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must either make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s amount is akin to your beginning bet, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantly to the casino. After the wager comes the showdown. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, plus a sum in accordance with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The casino pony’s up cash equal to your bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 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 four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
