Web poker has become globally famous recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years numerous types on the original poker game have been developed, including some 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 blackjack than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the house rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the croupier announcing "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different players are given 5 cards. After you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s first card, you need to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s value is akin to your original bet, which means that the risks will have doubled. Bowing out means that your ante goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager comes the showdown. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including a sum on par with the original wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The dealer pony’s up cash even with your ante and fixed expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 pairs
  • three to one 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 4 of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
