Okay, we’re back with our fourth awesome installment of the Caribbean Stud Poker Overview. Last time we talked all about the payouts in this exciting game. This time we’re going to talk about what makes you get paid—hand rankings.
Since you might not know how the hands in Caribbean Stud Poker rank, I’m going to show you. If you’ve played any poker, like video poker or Texas Hold’em, then you already know, because it works the same way.
Here’s the Caribbean Stud Poker chart for your convenience. I’ve ranked the hands from the worst to the best.
Nothing – You’ve got jack. These are the hands where you want to give up and just lose your ante wager. We’ll talk about this a little more in our last installment when I cover strategy and tips.
One Pair – You have two cards of the same rank, such as two Aces.
Two Pair – You have two cards of one rank and two of another, such as two Aces and two Jacks.
Three of a Kind – You have three cards of the same rank, such as three Aces.
Straight – You have all five cards in sequential order, such as 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The Ace can be played before the 2 or after the King. You decide.
Flush – You have all five cards in the same suit, such as Clubs.
Full House – You have basically a three of a kind and one pair in the same hand. An example of a full house would be three Jacks and two Aces.
Four of a Kind – You have four cards of the same suit. Since Caribbean Stud Poker is played with a single 52-card deck, this is hard to get. An example hand would be 4 Aces.
Straight Flush – You have all five cards of the same suit and they are all in sequential order and they are not 10, J, Q, K, A. For instance, this hand would be the 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 of Clubs.
Royal Flush – Very had to get of course. If you have the 10, J, Q, K, A of the same suit, such as Clubs, then you have a Royal Flush and the best payday possible in Caribbean Stud Poker. And hopefully you’re playing the progressive, otherwise you just lose a whole lot of cash.
Okay, that wraps up this fourth installment of our Caribbean Stud Poker Overview. For our final installment, I’ll be talking about strategy and tips. It’s going to be a great sendoff. And when you’re done with it, you’ll know everything you need to play and win at Caribbean Stud Poker.
