Web poker has become world famous as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years numerous types on the first poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier declares "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the different gamblers attain five cards. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s first card, you must in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes directly to the casino. After the bet comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, plus an amount on par with the original bet. If the bank does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up money equal to your bet and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- three to one for three 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 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
