Caribbean Stud is an easy online casino poker game

There are many online poker games at online casinos but they are not all played against other players and they do not all involve bluffing and raising stakes to very high levels. One of the easier casino games to play is in fact Caribbean Stud Poker and the only relationship it has to the regular online poker games is that the idea is still to form a five card poker hand but Caribbean Stud is played against the dealer for stakes that you determine and the best hand wins. Caribbean stud at Ladbrokes online casino is known as Cyberstud poker but the principles are the same. After placing an ante bet of your choice the players hand of 5 cards is dealt together with one of the dealers cards. The decision which then has to be made is whether to play or not; should you elect not to play then you lose your ante bet regardless of what the dealer has. Should you decide to play then a further bet must be placed which is equal to twice your ante bet which means that in Caribbean stud poker your maximum exposure is three times your ante and then the remaining four cards will be dealt to the dealer and the hands compared.The better your hand the better the odds will be so for example a flush will probably pay out at odds of 10 to 1 but there is one thing to remember and that is for your hand to win, the dealer must have a minimum of an Ace/King and if this is not the case then only your ante bet wins at even money and your additional bet is returned. This can be very annoying but the flip side of this is that at Caribbean poker if the dealer does not have an Ace/King or better you will always win the ante bet even if you also do not have a qualifying hand.
