What is Caribbean Stud Poker?

Caribbean Stud poker is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the most exciting poker variations in the world. Each game is played with a new deck. Here’s how it works: After you place a bet (the ante) the player and the dealer are dealt their own five card hand. One of the dealer's cards is face-up the other four are facedown. Based on what you can see you must decide to stay in or fold. If you fold you forfeit your ante. If you stay in you must add to your bet double the amount of the ante.

If you are still in the game and the dealer does not have at least an Ace plus King then the player automatically wins even money on the ante and the additional bet is returned. If the dealer does have at least Ace plus King then a comparison is made between the player's hand and the dealer's hand. If the player has the higher hand he/she wins even money on the ante, and the additional bet pays according to the payoff table below. If the dealer's hand beats the player's hand he loses both the ante and raise.
