Caribbean Stud
Poker
Named after the
Caribbean cruises on which it became popular, this is an
interesting poker variant. The options are to win back your
ante, draw with the dealer or lose.
Although it's played on a
'baize' table, this variant is not as complex as the widely
known Texas hold'em poker game. It is, however, a good
alternative to the traditional blackjack game, and the game
plan you need to keep in your head is relatively
simple.
You start by making an
ante bet, after which you are dealt five cards, face down
You can look at your own cards but not share information
with other players. After al players have been dealt to, the
dealer then receives five cards, with four face down and one
face up.
You then have two options;
raise or fold. If you raise, you put twice the amount of
your ante bet in the bet box. If you fold, the dealer will
collect your cards and ante bet. After all players have made
their plays, the dealer exposes his unseen cards.
Best Hand
Wins
The dealer has to have an
Ace and a King for their hand to qualify. If not, all
remaining ante bets pay even money, and all raise bets push.
If the dealer does qualify, then each remaining player's
hand is individually compared with that of the dealer. In
each case, the better poker hand wins. If the dealer has the
higher hand then the player loses both the ante and the
raise. If the two hands are equal in value, however, then
both ante and raise hands push.
