Caribbean stud poker is a bit different in how the game is played. If you notice, all of the poker games that we’ve gone though have the same goal: Develop a hand that is better than all of the other players have. You win with the best hand against the other players.
Yet, in Caribbean stud poker, things are flipped around a bit. Instead of playing against all of the other players, you are now playing against the casino or the room. The “bank” is the dealer.
The bank pays out all of the winning bets in the game.
In other words, you are playing against the dealer and therefore you have to beat the dealer’s hand to win the game.
Here’s how this one is played.
- An ante is created just like in other poker games.
- Each player in the game, which includes the dealer, is dealt five face down cards. One of the dealer’s cards is face up for everyone to see.
- At this point, you must decide if you want to raise or fold. The rules of folding and losing your ante and bets are still true here.
- To raise your bet, you must make a bet that is equal to twice the amount of the ante.
- The dealer then reveals his cards.
- The dealer’s hand must qualify. To do this, he must have an ace or king. For example, the lowest qualifying hand that the dealer can have is an ace, king, 4, 3, and a 2. The ace and the king must be present. If he does not have this, the player then wins his ante and the raise.
- If the dealer does qualify, the player will lose both his ante and his raise if the dealer’s hand is higher.
- If the player’s hand is better, the ante will then pay even money and your raise.
These are just a few of the many variations of poker that there are. As you can see, you can change this game in many ways and still enjoy the benefits of playing it!
