One version of online poker that doesn't come into
the category of video poker is the ever-popular Caribbean
Stud Poker. It's a relatively new game when compared
with roulette or 21, but as far as online poker goes
Caribbean Stud Poker has been around from the start.
First, the player makes an ante bet. Both player and
the dealer receive 5 cards, with the player's cards
dealt face down, and the dealer holding 1 face up and
the rest down. it's up to you to decide from that one
card whether or not to raise your raise, call or fold.
A raise consists of doubling your ante bet.
After all of the betting is done the dealer reveals
their cards. To continue at this point the dealer's
hand must meet the minimum requirement of having at
least an ace and a king or better poker hand (a pair
or better). If the dealer fails to have this minimum,
they fold and every player is paid even money for their
ante bet, and all raise bets are considered a push.
If the dealer does qualify to play then their hand is
compared to each player's hand. Naturally, the best
hand wins! Here are some basics for online casino poker,
Caribbean-style:

Tips:
1. If you do not have Ace-King don't
waste your money and fold.
2. Make a call bet if you have at least
any pair or higher. Also, you should call if you have
at least Ace-King and one of your other cards is the
same as the dealer's up card (the card you can see).
The most important thing to remember if you're going
to play Caribbean Stud Poker is to avoid bluffing on
weak hands and folding on low pairs - that'll kill your
bankroll.
Incidentally, the house edge is 5.2%, expect on the
above call bets (it's 2.6%)
