Caribbean Stud Poker : Game Tips & Strategies


Play starts with each player making an ante bet in a designated square. Each player then receives five cards face down. Players may examine their own cards but may not share information with each other. The dealer also receives five cards, four face down and one face up. At this point each player has two options: raise or fold. If the player raises he puts twice his ante bet in the raise box. If the player folds he must relinquish his cards to the dealer, who will collect his ante bet.

After all players have made their plays the dealer exposes his own cards. If he/she does not qualify with at least an ace and king present in their had, then all remaining ante bets pay even money and all raise bets push. If the dealer does qualify then each remaining player hand is individually compared against the dealer's hand, and the best poker hand wins in each case.

If the dealer has the higher hand the player loses both ante and raise. In the unlikely event the two hands are equal in value then both ante and raise push. If the player has the higher hand the ante pays even money and the raise pays according to payoff table below.

If you are playing Caribbean Stud Poker Online, then after you have placed your ante, click on the "Deal" button and you will be dealt 5 cards. The dealer will then receive four cards face down and one card face up. At this point, you may either bet if you think you can win or surrender if you feel that your hand is inadequate, just like at a land based casino. If you bet, your bet will be exactly equal to twice the amount of your ante. If you surrender, you will lose your ante to the dealer and the hand will end.

The hand rankings in Caribbean Stud are exactly the same as in regular poker. See the Poker School if you want this detailed information. If you are eager to play some real Caribbean Poker, try our free game.

Each player who makes a bet wager shall be responsible for his or her own hand and no other person other than the dealer may touch the cards of that player.

Each player shall be required to keep the five cards in full view of the dealer at all times. Once each player has examined his or her cards and placed them face down on the layout, they may not touch the cards again.

If a hole card is exposed prior to the dealer announcing no more bets, all hands shall be void.

If a player is dealt an incorrect number of cards, that players hand shall be void. If the dealer is dealt four cards of the five card hand, the dealer shall deal an additional card to complete the hand. Any other misdeal to the dealer shall result in all hands being void and the cards shall be reshuffled.
