In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course all of the other gamblers acquire five cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s first card, you must either make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original ante, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your wager goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the bet is the conclusion. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with a figure in accordance with the original bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up money even with your original bet and set odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs

- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
