Poker has become world celebrated lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several types on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the croupier declares "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other gamblers are given five cards. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s amount is akin to your original bet, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your wager goes instantly to the dealer. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, with a sum equal to the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The house pony’s up money equal to your original bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
