Online poker has become globally famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years numerous types on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the bank instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no bluffing or other types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers are given five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your wager goes directly to the dealer. After the wager comes the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, including a figure equal to the original bet. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The house pays out cash equal to your initial bet and set odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- three to one for 3 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
