Internet poker has become world famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years numerous types on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the bank instead of each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer saying "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the different players are given 5 cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s amount is akin to your original wager, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your wager goes directly to the dealer. After the bet comes the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, including an amount on par with the ante. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The house pony’s up cash equal to your ante and controlled expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

• Even for a pair or high card
• 2-1 for two 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
