Internet poker has become world acclaimed as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several types on the first poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the house rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer announcing "No more bets." At that point, both you and the house and of course all of the other players acquire five cards. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you need to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s amount is akin to your original ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your wager goes immediately to the house. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, including a sum equal to the original bet. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The bank pays chips even with your original bet and controlled odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 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
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
