Despite not that many people playing it probably the simplest of all poker games in the online casino is Caribbean Stud Poker. Playing online poker in the form of cash games of Texas Hold’em can be quite daunting for a beginner but if you want to get an idea of the hand values and how often they appear then Caribbean Stud is a good starting place as there is no bluffing involved in the game and you know your maximum possible outlay for any single hand. Caribbean Stud is a simple poker game in which there are two hands dealt, one to the dealer and one to you as the player and all you have to do is have a better hand than the dealer and if you do, you win. The game of Caribbean Stud starts by the player entering a bet called the ante which can be varied from hand to hand as long as it remains within the table limits; the cards will then be dealt but only one of the dealer’s cards will be visible to you. Based on your hand and the one card that you can see from the dealer you must decide whether to play or fold; if you fold you lose your ante bet regardless of what the dealer has but if you decide to play you enter another bet equal in size to your ante bet so your maximum liability for the hand is twice your original ante bet. The dealer cards are then revealed and the hands compared but there is another important requirement and that is that in order for the dealer to play the dealer hand must be Ace/king or better. If it is not, your raise bet is returned but your original ante bet still wins at even money; if it is and you have a better hand then both your bets are paid out. Playing Caribbean Stud is quick and easy and is a good introduction to poker.
